Between 2018-21, the pediatric firearm death rate rose 41.5%. Firearm deaths hit a new record high in 2021--4,752 pediatric firearm deaths or a rate of 5.8 per 100,000 people. Inaction is not enough. Demand change-children have a right to grow up.

That also happened today.

Recent incidents of killings & injuries caused by householders shooting people who rang their door bell, or let a ball roll into their yard, or who accidentally drove up their drive. alongside the case of someone who approached the wrong car in a car park, have done nothing to change my mind!
