Guns are one of the most frequently used weapons in criminal acts, and they are also responsible for a substantial number of unintentional injuries and deaths. Each year, approximately 40 percent of guns kill kids who are under 18 years old. Additionally, about 2/3rds of these children who die from guns are under five years old.
