Looks like the grabbers are making up their own gun terms again, this time it's "Family Fire."

According to NBC News, this is their attempt to reach out to gun owners:

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the group behind federal background checks for firearms purchasers, is launching a new ad campaign (http://www.endfamilyfire.org/) that is an effort to find common ground in a country divided on the issue of gun control.The campaign launching Wednesday, finds its way to television via public service announcements facilitated by the Ad Council, and aims to make the term "family fire" a household word as it describes accidental shootings of children and other family members in homes across the nation.




"Rather than mudslinging and name calling, we’re focusing on how can we act to keep our kids alive," said Kyleanne Hunter, a Brady Center vice president. "And that might open the door to more discussion about how to end gun violence."

Just one more “wet dream” idea from the grabbers.

Someone should suggest to Brady and the Ad Council that it is about time they want to get into gun safety. Maybe they will consider supporting hunter safety, Eddie the Eagle, and Project Appleseed. They are a little late to the effort but I’m certain that money would not go to waste.

From this report (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr66/nvsr66_06.pdf) it looks like 48 children 14 and under died from firearm accidents in the US in 2015. That's a little more than twice the number of people that were killed by lightning (20.) Just to put it into perspective.

One could argue that number is more tragic because those deaths were preventable, but there are many, many, many more preventable deaths every year in other categories.

What is argueable is HOW to prevent those deaths...

They want all firearms eliminated or at least locked up so tight they're worthless in a self defense situation..

We'd argue that education is key, but they believe that leads to 'normalization' of firearms... and we're right back at the fundamental difference in thought process.

More deaths due to falls. Gravity is a law, but it should be repealed!!!

Those numbers pale by comparison to Auto and drowning deaths.

Ban cars and water.

Don't even joke about banning swimming pools. There are already no more high dives and no pools let you do back flips anymore. I look like an A-hole at the pool when I scold my daughter for plugging her nose, but when she does she fits right in with the other kids level of swimming.

More proof that it's really not about saving lives at all... that's just the hook
