IT’S TIME FOR NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR PROTECTION FROM GUN VIOLENCE

IN SCHOOLS AND PLACES OF WORSHIP

 In 1958, a fire broke out at Our Lady of the Angels elementary school in Chicago, Illinois. 93 children died. The disaster was the lead headline story in American, Canadian, and European newspapers. It shocked the nation and led to major improvements in standards for school design and national fire safety codes. Because of these standards, today’s schools are much safer. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that between 2013-2017, school fires accounted for an annual average of one death. There are standards for fire prevention, building construction, highway transportation, aviation and almost everything else where protecting lives is fundamental.

We don’t need to wait for greater gun violence before setting standards that will greatly improve safety. Aside from its core mission, the chief goal of the Prime Protection Foundation (PPF) in 2025 is to help the National Gun Violence Protection Association (NGVPA), a branch organization, to establish National Standards, This will not be easy or inexpensive. PPF has set a goal of $1M to help fund this effort. Please go to our SUPPORT US page and donate as much as you can to this important cause.
