One mistake is all it takes.
There is so much worry and so much stress. We know. But there is something every family in America needs to make sure of—right now—especially with our kids at home all day long, often unsupervised. And that is ensuring all guns are safely and securely stored out of our children’s reach.
The truth is, these stories are not rare. They are not the exception. We’re only a few months into 2020, and according to, there have already been 58 unintentional shootings by children this year alone. Those shootings resulted in 16 deaths and 44 injuries. Kids like 13-year old Patricio Arroyo and a tiny three-old toddler having their lives cut short because people think they are safer with guns lying around. They’re not.
Imagine a teen who has already thought about ending it all, who feels like there is no other option. Now they cannot see their friends. Or that one teacher who might be a lifeline—a beacon of hope in the darkness. They are stuck at home with stressed-out parents who leave them to self-entertain most of the day as they are busy working and managing life during this unstable time.
