Gun Safety Advocacy
Safety is at the core of responsible gun ownership.
We support:
Strengthening and expanding background checks for all firearm purchases
Closing dangerous loopholes that allow stalkers and abusive partners to obtain guns
Promoting safe storage practices to prevent accidental harm in homes
Let’s ensure that firearms are handled with the care and respect they deserve.
Safety is the foundation of responsible gun ownership. At ARA, we are committed to fostering a culture where firearms are handled with care, respect, and a deep understanding of their potential impact. Here’s how we advocate for safety:
Strengthening Background Checks
We believe in universal background checks for all firearm purchases. This includes closing dangerous loopholes that allow individuals with histories of violence, such as stalkers and abusive partners, to acquire guns
Safe Storage Practices
Thousands of accidental shootings happen each year in homes due to improperly stored firearms. We advocate for guns to be safely stored, especially in households with children. Safe storage includes using gun safes, trigger locks, and other secure solutions
Community Awareness
Safety isn’t just an individual responsibility; it’s a community effort. Through workshops and outreach programs, we educate both gun owners and non-gun owners about the importance of responsible firearm handling and storage
By implementing these measures, we can reduce the number of firearm-related accidents and ensure that gun ownership remains a positive force in our communities
