PHOENIX — An organization of moms against gun violence is applauding a recent decision by the Phoenix Union High School Board.
The board voted unanimously last week to require the parent or guardian of the district’s 27,000 students to read and sign a gun storage safety form.
"This is just an obvious thing we can do to prevent future tragedies,” said board member Lela Alston.
The "Secure Storage Notification Resolution" requires that gun storage and safety information be included in the student handbook of all 27,000 students of the district's 20 high schools.
The resolution was prompted by the groups Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action For Gun Sense in America. It highlights how unlocked guns play a prominent role in unintentional shootings involving children, gun suicides and campus shootings.
Phoenix Union Board President Stephanie Parra said the resolution is a small but meaningful step to educate parents.
“From time to time, guns have made an appearance on campuses," said board president Stephanie Parra. “When we speak to moms, often it's because the parent did not properly store their firearm at home.”

NO
Moms Demand Action is shaping up to be a much worse set of harpies than Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Not sure how they are going to make anyone sign. The courts have ruled that a public education is a right so they can go pound sand.
In the famous words of our past great First Lady Nancy Reagan, “Just Say No!”
Next logical step?
This new law means you have given the school district your consent for them to COME TO YOUR HOME AND INSPECT how your guns are being stowed. They will make notes and take pictures for their ‘confidential files’.
My guns are safer than your insane, bat bleep, anti-Constitutional, delusional, paranoid screechings.
Please accept this form and shove it up your smelly Obama...

Democrats/Liberals always declare their hostility towards the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
As written, I totally support this.
I have no problem with a school sending to every parent a form that tells them how to safely store their gun, and requiring that they sign to indicate they received the form.
If the form is inaccurate, I object to it and want it fixed. If the signing is them promising to store a gun in any particular way, I would also object.
But why do we oppose providing safe gun handling information?
Nuts

KMA!
Think ‘permanent record’!
Guns? What guns?
Really?
I dont have any problem with a public safety program that includes gun ownership responsibilities including safe storage. The public in general could use some good refreshing on how to safely own firearms (that probably doesnt apply in the forum so much). But I dont see any need for, nor would I agree to sign anything that might be used to gather information on me or later used in some legal or semi-legal proceeding against me. If the school wants to ‘do something’ to reduce gun violence, offer some community classes on gun safety, hunter safety, shooting sports, etc, like the schools used to do back when I was in school.
“But why do we oppose providing safe gun handling information?”
It’s none of their business how or where anyone stores their guns.
Who decides what is “safe”? More to the point, WHO IN THE HELL ARE THE SCHOOLS to pressure parents to do SQUAT ALL about guns?
