Program Encourages Parents Not to Let Kids Play in Houses of Gun Owners
A public awareness program coming to Pennsylvania promises that it is not political and promises to only to protect the kids. But it’s clear it’s main mission is to demonize gun owners while using the children to do it.
The program is called ASK (Asking Saves Kids) and it encourages parents to ask each other about guns in their homes. The goal is to make sure children are not playing in homes where the parents home guns. And if that’s not political, then the 2nd amendment is not in the constitution.
Triblive has reported that an advertising campaign will start in Allegheny County on September 16th to kick start the program. Dan Gross, president of the Center to Prevent Youth Violence in New York, said, “This is not a polarizing political issue. This is an aspect where we can all be united and keep our kids safe.”
The group is pursuing “gun control” measures by means of a public health stance on guns that tries to turn gun owners into criminals. Gross emphasized the risk of owning a gun over how a gun can actually be used to save or protect those children.
“A lot of this is about reframing conversations about gun violence every day in our communities. You’re not a bad person if you want to protect your family and you buy a gun to do it. But we have to have a conversation about the risks,” Gross said." "
As further proof that the anti-gun movement is targeting the medical field, the group is aiming to put their advertising posters in pediatrician’s offices. Apparently owning a gun is a medical issue now and akin to causing your children physical harm.
The article cites a random Brooklyn man named Dennis Murphy who apparently regularly asks parents about guns in their homes saying,
“My kids aren’t allowed in a house until I know there’s no weapons,” Murphy said. “That’s the first thing I ask. It’s very important." "”
Really? That’s the first things he asks? So that if someone does break into the home where his child is playing he knows for certain that nothing will be done to protect his kids and that the intruders will be safe?
As long as people assume that keeping guns away from law abiding citizens will keep everyone safe from criminals they will always also continue to criminalize anyone who happens to own a gun. God forbid you should teach your child proper gun safety. The anti-gunners would rather a child has no idea how to operate a gun so that they can harm themselves with it by accident.
The NRA was not available for comment on this ASK program, but a Pennsylvania gun rights group did respond.
Chairman of Firearms Owners Against Crime, Kim Stolfer, said it had serious doubts about the true intentions of this program saying,
“I have learned over 30 years not to trust these types of organizations,” Stolfer said. “They have no experience, knowledge or altruistic purposes.
