Each gun brought to the event or safely stored means one less gun that could be discovered by an inquisitive child, or stolen and used in a crime, or readily available to someone suffering a mental health crisis. We can make our families and communities safer – one gun at a time.

With the aim of reducing gun deaths, 'Guns to Gardens' gives unwanted fi****ms a new purpose • New Hampshire Bulletin Many people are rethinking the wisdom of having fi****ms in their homes.
