Why Guns Are Not Fun

Although many television shows,

computer/video games, and

movies display guns, it is

necessary to realize that real

guns are dangerous. When

adults and children play with or

miss use guns, they can end up

killing someone.

Why Guns Are Not Fun

A real gun is not a toy and they can kill

someone. Guns have enough power to

tear through your skin, muscles, and even

your bones. A gunshot can injure you for

life or even kill you.

This is why it is so important to not play

with real guns. When kids how were ask

about their gun accidents they say they

did not mean to fire the gun. NEVER

point a gun at anyone, including yourself

even if you are joking

Why Guns Are Not Fun

Are real guns

toys?

Why Guns Are Not Fun

NO--Real guns

are not toys

Gun Safety at Home

Guns at home should be locked in a

safe with the safety on.

Tell your parents they can get free

gun locks from your local police

department

If you find a gun in your home you

may be tempted to check it out, but

don’t play with it.

Gun Safety at Home

STOP

DON’T TOUCH

LEAVE THE AREA

TELL AN ADULT

Gun Safety at Home

If you see a gun

at home what

should you do?

Gun Safety at Home

STOP, don’t

touch, leave the

area, and tell an

adult

Gun Safety At School

If someone at school threatens you or

says they are going to bring a gun to

school tell an adult right away.

If you are nervous about doing this in

front of other students ask your

teacher or principal to talk with them

in a private meeting.

Gun Safety At School

You are not a tattletale and

you could be someone’s

hero by preventing a death

from a gunshot

Tell you mom or your dad

too

Gun Safety At School

Is it ever okay to

bring a gun to

school?

Gun Safety At School

NO it is never

okay to bring a

gun to school.

Conclusion

Researching the topic of gun safety

made me realize how important it is

to educate children about gun safety.

It was interesting to me that you can

get free gun safety locks at your local

police department. Creating this

powerpoint challenged me to learn

about the different uses and

animations of the powerpoint

program.
