Article review


 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes, the article’s content is relevant to the topic
 * Is it written neutrally? The article is written in a neutral, unbiased tone, although some may argue that there is more fact supporting the proponents of the law while there is only a few supporting those who oppose it. One reason for this might be the lack of sources for facts against the law.
 * Does each claim have a citation? Yes
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Facts that support the law are up to date since the article talks about studies done in 2019. However, facts against the law are very old and might need improvement if possible.
 * What else could be improved? One can look at how effective the Eddie Eagle GunSafe program has been effective. It is only mentioned as the argument used by the NRA to oppose the CAP law, but no study or fact has been stated to illustrate how effective or ineffective the law is.
 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? There is no conversation in the talk page.

A study conducted in the North Dakota State University that aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of gun training programs on preschool children. The study found that although the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program is effective at training children on what to say when they encounter a firearm (safety message), the program is not effective at training children on what to do when they are facing a gun in real life. The study examined the three main target of the program, teaching children safety message (what to say when facing a firearm), how to react to firm arm in a controlled setting, and last how to reach in a real-world situation. The study found that the Eddie Eagle program was effective at teaching children the safety message (5 out of 11). However, only 1 out of 11 was able to react correctly to the role play situation, and none of the students were able to react properly in a real-life situation. The study then concluded that the training program was not effective at keeping children safe. Sources:
