Free Gun Locks at a Public Library
In today's episode, I share with you some free gun locks I was able to get from my local public library . Gun locks are an easy way in which we can all help save lives by keeping them out of the hands of minors and anyone contemplating suicide. This free program was made possible through the city of Alexandria, Virginia's gun lock program and other suicide prevention efforts.
Public libraries give out free COVID tests, masks, Band-Aids, voting registrations, and tax forms. Why not gun locks too, right? Especially when it is in the interest of enhancing public safety.
I hope you find this video helpful. Please share this with anyone you think may benefit from it. Here are the related links I promised you:
