The American Academy of Pediatrics offers a curated collection of original images that accurately and responsibly depict essential firearm safety strategies to protect young children. These visuals are designed to support parents and caregivers in creating safer home environments. By following simple yet effective safety measures—such as storing guns locked and unloaded and securing ammunition separately—families can significantly reduce the risk of unintentional shootings, suicides, and homicides involving children.
These images are available for download and can be used in print, broadcast, online publications, or shared on social media. To download an image, click the "download" icon located at the lower right corner of the image.
