Current statistics show that at least a third of households in the United States own guns and/or have guns in the home.
While this may not be a surprising figure, it’s something to think about. There are an estimated 4.6 million children that live with unlocked, loaded guns, which poses an incredible risk to their safety, as well as your own. This is a frightening statistic, especially as gun violence is at an all-time high in the U.S. today. Kids are curious by nature, and most of them developmentally are not ready to be safe with guns or other weapons, no matter how mature they may be.
