Just last month, 1-year-old Braylon Robinson was playing with his friends in a Cleveland home when one friendgot a hold of a loaded gun and shot and killed him.
While this experience may seem as though it is an anomaly, tragic stories like Braylon’s are becoming all too common throughout the United States.
Children accidentally shoot someone every 36 hours new study finds - Living - HeraldTimesOnline
According to a study published earlier this week by Everytown For Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, 79 children have unintentionally shot someone with a handgun during the first four months of 2015. These shootings have resulted in 24 deaths and 56 injuries. If such first-quarter figures were calculated to cover an entire year, there would be an accidental shooting every 36 hours.
The study, which tracked incidental shootings by children in the United States from Jan. 1 to April 30, found that 50 of the 79 accidental shootings were committed by someone age 13 or younger. And 25 of those were committed by children between the ages of 2 and 4.
And i'm sure that the main reason why kids are doing such things is not their parent's stupidity, but one of the favorite American freedoms... To bear arms...
Hey you, gun-owner, do you really think that few pieces of metal are more important than live of children?
