Legalization of guns
Crimes that may have been less harmful can be made more dangerous by adding a gun
Legalized gun ownership means guns have a greater chance of falling into the hands of kids. Handgun incidents involving children are often cases of curiosity. If the child is extremely young, they may be prompted to handle a gun simply from tactile curiosity. If they are older they may have seen their parents handling the gun or a character on TV. These children generally don't understand the workings of gun and trigger it by pure accident. |
