Unfortunately, if you thought child-related shootings and deaths were only related to gang violence, you are sadly incorrect. The statistical research indicates children are far more likely to be killed or injured at home due to an improperly stored gun or ammunition than if they are to be shot at due to a random act of violence. Adults must be proactive in safety in order to prevent these preventable deaths by making sure the guns are locked safe; ammunition is stored away safely and in separate locations than the gun; and use trigger-locks to prevent the unintentional firing of the weapon.
