SafeGunLock and the Purple Heart Foundation share a long-term goal of lowering suicide rates among veterans and non-veterans alike.
Statistically speaking, this collaboration couldn’t come at a better time:
▪️ Firearms are the leading cause of death for American youth. (Everytown)
▪️Gun suicide claims the lives of more than 25,000 people in the US every year. (Everytown)
▪️In 2021, 30,177 active duty personnel and veterans who served after 9/11 died by suicide, compared to the 7,057 service members killed in combat over the same 20 years. (Watson Institute)
“An unlocked gun can destroy many lives at home,” says Steve Zaleznick, Founder and CEO. “SafeGunLock prevents such tragedies. SafeGunLock’s mission is to save lives and reduce gun deaths by 10% in the U.S. and abroad within the next ten years by introducing safety products that will be desired by gun owners.”
The partnership between SafeGunLock and the Purple Heart Foundation is also timely because suicide by firearm rates are alarmingly high among veterans -- and one is too many. Studies have shown that limiting access to firearms can prevent suicide.
According to the Purple Heart Foundation, “a locked firearm utilizing a SafeGunLock can mean the difference between a family’s tragedy and a Veteran’s life being saved.”
For each lock purchased from SafeGunLock.com, the company will donate $5 to support the Purple Heart Foundation’s mental health initiatives.
Praised by leading gun experts, SafeGunLock is poised to make a huge difference for millions of responsible owners who want at least one gun outside a safe to have at the ready, but who are also worried about vulnerable family members accidentally firing a gun.
