eleanors Run ads by gun safe/lock box companies. Millions of folks can tune in and get a message that can "save lives" by encouraging safe firearm storage. Some DU gun controllers have advocated laws requiring safe storage.
What do you think?

Great idea, that's what I thinks.
But will the nra & guns of america (goa) et al inter alios come out & oppose these ads since they would hinder the ability to snap fire when a hell bent thug comes crashing thru the roof? the awful time to unlock the safe storage box & access the gun could mean the difference between death & rape & life for the precious children --- will any self respecting daddio want to risk his children's lives by securing his guns in safe storage where they'd be unaccessible to both himself as well as his toddlers?
Sheesh, the nra lobby might boycott pro football.

PS I might x-post this to 'my place' when I have more time to devote to it, if ok with youse & yours.
