The statistics are staggering. According to Everytown for Gun Safety, firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States—every year, more than 21,000 children and teens are shot and killed or wounded. Many of these injuries and deaths could have been prevented, as every year, nearly 360 children under the age of 18 unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else, and 4.6 million children in the U.S. live in a home with at least one unlocked and loaded firearm. Self-harm is also a major issue as, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, access to a gun triples the risk of death by suicide.
