This weekend marks National Gun Violence Awareness Day, a movement aimed at highlighting the stark reality of gun violence in America, where an average of 125 people are shot and killed daily. In support of this initiative, the BeSMART program organizes educational activities to promote safe gun storage, a vital step in reducing firearm suicide and unintentional discharges.
As part of the awareness efforts, BeSMART volunteers will illuminate the Arc of Dreams in orange this Friday evening, honoring the lives lost to gun violence. Community members like Sara Combs, Kelly Thompson, and Julie Parker emphasize that simple actions can lead to significant changes in gun safety standards.
