## Plot summary

Federal officials estimate that there are over 200 million firearms in the United States. Studies suggest they're kept in approximately half of all households. Whether or not a particular family owns firearms, chances are, neighbors and relatives do, making it likely that children will encounter a firearm at some point. From their earliest awareness, children are exposed to guns through cartoons, television shows and movies. They're curious about firearms, and may have developed inaccurate perceptions of what a firearm is and does. Just as Smokey Bear teaches children not to play with matchbooks, Eddie Eagle teaches them not to play with firearms with a simple, memorable four-part plan: If you see a see a gun: STOP! Don't Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult. It is important for children to understand that only with a parent or with parental permission and adult supervision should a child be around firearms. The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program was created by a task force that includes educators, school administrators, curriculum specialist, urban housing safety officials, clinical psychologist, law enforcement officials and National Rifle Association firearms safety experts. Since 1988, The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program has been taught by more than 26,000 schoolteachers and law enforcement officers nationwide. Since 1988, the program has reached over 21 million children -- in all 50 states. The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program has been honored or formally endorsed by groups such as the National Sheriffs' Association, the American Legion, the Police Athletic League, the Association of American Educators, and others. The program has received bipartisan support from the governors of 26 states who signed resolutions recommending that the program be used in their school systems. The Eddie Eagle program has no agenda other than accident prevention -- ensuring that children stay safe should they encounter a gun. The program never mentions the NRA, nor does it encourage children to buy guns or to become NRA members. The program is FUN FOR KIDS with an animated movie, reward stickers, and workbooks for them to learn from and color in. The program is much more than just teaching safety. Youngsters learn safety, but they also learn respect for guns and for themselves when they gain knowledge. They learn to leave the area and to make their friends and playmates leave the area -- that's leadership. They learn to quickly find and inform an adult of an unsafe situation -- that's responsibility. And when an adult has removed the gun and the area is safe again, they learn pride and sense of accomplishment and self-worth for having used their knowledge and skills. Regardless of whether guns are in the home, most children are curious about guns. That curiosity is equally strong or stronger among children who grow up in homes without guns as it is in those who grow up in gun-owning households. While parents are ultimately responsible for the care, safety, and development of their children, all children need to be taught gun accident prevention to be prepared if they encounter a firearm.
