Department of Justice Awards NSSF 2.4 Million for Project Child Safe

The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance has awarded the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) a cooperative agreement in the amount of $2.4 million to provide firearm safety education messaging and free gun locks through NSSF’s Project ChildSafe program.  From the NSSF press release:

We thank the Department of Justice for its recognition of this important program,” said Steve Sanetti, NSSF’s President and CEO. “We’ll work to build on previous efforts and further raise awareness of the simple precautions gun owners can take to store firearms securely when not in use.”

It's nice to see that the USDOJ has awarded taxpayer money to a group that actually knows something about outreach to gun owners.
