At least 265 people were accidentally shot by kids in 2015. This is from 2015 but I can only imagine the number has gone up or stayed the same. We can celebrate the one incident where having a gun worked out. Or we can remember that almost every day an innocent person is accidentally shot by having a gun in the home.
I'm going to play it safe and keep guns out of my house.On Monday, three days after Christmas, the four-year-old son of an Alaska state trooper had just returned home from sledding. He was playing by himself in the living room. His mom and grandmother were not far away, in the kitchen, the Alaska Dispatch News reports.
But somehow the boy, William Anderson, found a gun belonging to his father. The gun went off and killed William.
At least 265 children under the age of 18 picked up a firearm and accidentally shot themselves or someone else with it in 2015, according to numbers compiled by the gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.
