“I rise tonight to give special honor to Project Home Safe and their latest firearm safety initiative, although I do it under the shadow of yet another child's death caused by the reckless use of a firearm. Yesterday, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a 4-year-old boy shot and killed an 18-month-old girl with his father's handgun while the two of them were watching a movie. Another young innocent life ended. Congress has refused to enact common-sense legislation to prevent these kinds of senseless acts. As part of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Project Home Safe represents one of the largest and most diverse trade associations in America. Since September last year, Project Home Safe has toured 16 States and visited over 300 communities, distributing hundreds of thousands of firearm safety devices in an effort to improve and preserve the lives of our children. This month, they reached the great State of Indiana. In conjunction with our Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable Joe Kernan, Project HomeSafe launched a 35-day tour of Indiana, during which they will distribute 40,000 gun safety devices across the State.”
