RESOLUTION 
Commending the National Rifle Association for developing 
the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program and teaching 
23,000,000 children its lifesaving message. 
Whereas the National Rifle Association created the Eddie 
Eagle GunSafe Program to teach the fundamentals of 
firearm safety to children in an effective way; 
Whereas nearly half of United States households have fire-
arms; 
Whereas Eddie Eagle was designed in partnership with teach-
ers, school administrators, curriculum and reading spe-
cialists, clinical psychologists, law enforcement agents, 
and urban housing safety officials; 
Whereas through activity books, posters, and other edu-
cational materials, children are reminded of a simple 
safety message, ‘‘If you see a gun: STOP! Don’t Touch. 
Leave the Area. Tell an Adult’’; 
Whereas the nationally recognized Eddie Eagle GunSafe Pro-
gram has been a leader in teaching firearm accident pre-
vention to children in the United States for more than 
22 years; 
Whereas the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program has been used 
by more than 26,000 public or private schools, law en-
forcement agencies, and civic organizations, and has 
reached 23,000,000 children since 1988; 
Whereas the annual number of firearm accidents has declined 
more than 80 percent since the inception of the program; 
Whereas the program has been reviewed and recommended by 
the U.S. Department of Justice (through its Office of Ju-
venile Justice and Delinquency Prevention);
