Did you know firearms are the leading cause of death for American children?That’s why we’re sharing information about Be SMART, a program focused on keeping kids safe by promoting secure firearm storage and responsible conversations among adults. In Tennessee:
• Children are 64.9% more likely to die from a firearm than the national average
• The state ranks 3rd for unintentional shootings by children
• 92% of child firearm deaths are considered preventable
Be SMART empowers parents, caregivers, and community members—whether gun owners or not—to:
✔ Secure firearms safely
✔ Understand the risks
✔ Take action to prevent access
✔ Talk with others about safe storage
