Next time on The Children's Hour, we share some of the tips on gun safety that hunting families have taught their kids for generations.
Our guest is Miranda Viscoli fromNew Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence. Their organization teaches about gun locks, hosts gun buy back events, and works with teenagers to forge discarded weapons into art. She lets us know the parent responsibility to keep firearms secured, especially around children. We also discuss what kids can do when they come upon weapons.
