HBO's "Task" is a great show...and I especially loved this inclusion of secure gun storage! It's a a quick reference, but it helps normalize an important part of responsibile gun ownership that can save lives at home

Thank you Rep Jason Crow for the @cuanschutz.bsky.social Town Hall, and for taking my question about programs and research for violence prevention.

Thanks also for encouraging the academic and medical communities to keep fighting for science, health, and for those who can't fight for themselves

Sometimes, firearm owners need a safe, temporary out-of-home storage option

Out-of-home firearm storage maps make it easy to find locations willing to consider voluntary, short-term storage: Explore the national map 👉 pausetoprotect.org

We *can* prevent violence - but we need program and research funds to do it. Grateful to all those who support this work!

Youth suicide is hard to talk about - but it *is* preventable. If you have guns at home, please make sure that kids and teens don't have unsupervised access.
