WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is trying to enlist school leaders to
help spread the word about the importance of safely storing firearms to
protect children.

The new initiative will be unveiled Thursday in an event for school
principals with first lady Jill Biden and Education Secretary Miguel
Cardona. Also participating will be Stefanie Feldman, who runs the White
House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

"We know safe storage of firearms can save lives, especially by reducing
suicide by firearms and school shootings," Feldman told reporters.

Guns are the leading cause of death for American children, and most guns
used in school shootings are taken from the shooter’s home.

“I know that there are some parents who wake up every day, drop their
kids off for school and while they're watching their kids walk through
that door, there's just a little part of them that worries about gun
violence during the school day,” Feldman said. As part of the
announcement, the Justice Department will release a guide to safe
firearm storage, and the Education Department will distribute materials
to schools that can be shared with families.

The administration has relied on initiatives like this one, which
involves limited executive action and promoting voluntary measures, at a
time when tougher gun control proposals are nonstarters in Congress.

There's no federal law requiring gun owners to lock up their firearms,
although the White House has encouraged such rules to be implemented at
the state level.

Locking them up defeats the purpose.

Responsible gun education eliminates the need.

Mandatory death penalty for crimes involving use of firearms. Use of
firearms to remove a tyrannical government or politician are exempted,
no crime, no penalty.
