The lack of education a parent have about gun safety results in school shootings and unintentional deaths of children.
There has been 26 unintentional shootings involving a child in 2021.
In May of 2018, a 17-year-old killed 10 and injured 13 at Santa Fe High School using one of his father's guns. The parents were not held liable because Texas’ safe storage law only applies to children under the age of 17.
One third of children in U.S. homes live with unlocked or loaded guns.
The age range for unintentional shootings are children 5 and younger and teenagers at the age of 14 to 17.
1,000+ preschoolers or toddlers have been able to fire a gun.
40% of children and teens that have died by suicide used a gun from their home or from a family member.
Many good gun safes are expensive so people tend to purchase more affordable safes, the only issue with this is that these safes are poorly made.
