Last summer, a five-year-old boy in Seattle was killed by his brother when the two were playing with their father's gun. Last month, four-year-old Dylan Jackson accidentally killed himself after finding a loaded gun at a friend's home during a birthday party. In Tampa, Florida, a two-year-old shot himself in the chest with a pistol left in the family couch. Clearly, children in America are at risk from gun accidents.

Yes they are in fact in danger. Not of the gun itself, but the non-responsible parents or guardians that own the firearms. In my and only my opinion, any household that acquires such firearms, should be entitled to teaching their children about gun safety and the dangers if misused properly. My point here is that children are not in danger of the firearms’ itself, the gun can’t shoot by itself, so don’t let your children near them. It’s simple.
