Citywide Gun Safety Training for Pre-K thru-12th Grade Kid's and Adult's

I am looking for support in starting an educational program about Gun Safety in Evanston.

I am seeing young men going to Prison for possessing a loaded gun and young men dying from being shot. What I am not seeing is a community effort to educate the children about Gun Safety and young Adults about Gun Law Consequences. We here of ideas of how to get a convicted Felon a Job, but what about teaching the young man, before he makes that error and becomes a Felon. We can put in some check's and Balances to help thwart the progressive move towards violence, if we can reach the young people and small children. I have tried to help but my offer's have been ignored by the Mayor's Office and it will be shame when some more youth pay the price of ignorance.
