Since children always love to adventure inside their own home and they not always listen to what adult have to say, so the parents should always put their fire arms in a safe place with a lock on. Also, their fire arms should always have safety on and not load with a bullet, so those curious children not play with it or unexpectedly injure themselves.

That's really scary, and upsetting. It seems that no matter how much we teach kids to avoid guns, their curiosity takes over and only after it's be satisfied, then they rely on their training. This is both a warning and important discovery because it leads to the fact that parents need to lock up their guns so they can have their children avoid them altogether.

This just goes to show how a lot of gun owners are not responsible. Kids don't have the experience or the knowledge to know that staring down the barrel of a gun is not a good idea. Gun owners need to be more conscientious about storing guns in a household with children in it.
Also, maybe the NRA should take money from their lobbying efforts to block on the CDC and put it into their early age education program.

People are just ignorant. First of all who forgets to lock their safe? Whats the point of having a damn safe if you don't lock it. Those parents should be shot. Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard. This is 100% on the parents. Second I don't think that those early educational programs do much. I just new that if my dad ever caught me near a gun without his permission and supervision and if he ever caught me not respect a gun. He would beat me within an inch of my life. I wouldn't look down the barrel of a gun because I was damn scared. We are to soft with kids. There not going to learn by some corny video. Its not scary enough to show them what guns can do to them. Last I remember being 5. I no for sure I had enough common sense not to look down the barrel of a gun. I guess common sense isn't very common anymore.

I mean, obviously people have their right to own a firearm, but they need to be so much more careful. Regardless of how many times they tell their children to leave dangerous things alone, children are naturally curious. If any accident was to happen, the child could never be blamed.

Just lock up the guns. Not that hard to do!

I think parents and adults should be more informative and frank with kids when it comes to explaining the dangers of guns. I think kids become more curious with objects that they don't really understand and knowing all about guns could change their perspective. And who just leaves loaded guns around the house, seriously.

Obviously, guns are very curious things. I would NEVER store a gun within my home without a locked safe, especially if I had children. One of the first things you learn in gun safety is that EVERY GUN IS LOADED. Nobody with proper gun safety training would ever look down the barrel of a gun or aim it at another person, even if it's unloaded. It makes me wonder if the program which they watched simply told them to not touch it (which would automatically be ignored), or also taught them proper ways to use a gun when there is a trusted adult present. Guns shouldn't be a curiosity in the first place, so that children won't feel like it's a cool toy that only adults can touch.

I could never have a gun in my house especially with children. I rather have a home security system instead of having a dangerous weapon in my house. I don't think people consider what could go wrong with having a gun, epically around children. People may think it's good for protection , but one mistake and someone could get hurt or even die.I honestly don't think most children are responsible enough to have a weapon around.I wouldn't want my children to think that they should turn to using a gun for safety.

The statistics in this video are horrifying. I honestly don't understand how someone could leave a loaded gun unlocked in their home when there are children living there as well. It seems irresponsible to do that. I totally understand why someone would want to own a firearm, and having a child in the home shouldn't stop that, but precautions should be taken. If I was to have a gun and have a child in the home, I would most definitely lock it up and I would thoroughly explain to the child what it can do, how they work, and safety measures that need to be done when around a gun, to limit their curiosity- cause we're really only curious about thinks we don't know about.

The statistics are absolutely crazy. Parents should be responsible enough to put their guns in a safe or not have them at all. I understand they want to keep their family safe from other, but keeping your children safe from threats within the home is more important.

This video is crazy! it seems weird to me that there are so many cases where kids accidentally are injured by guns. I think that the parents of these kids should not leave their guns in the home, or at least where the kids can find them and play with them. I think that parents should use more precautions.

I cannot believe the statistics it showed! About 1 child every hour is brought to the hospital because of gunshot wounds! That is insane! For one, guns should never be in the reach of children. They are not toys. And for two, why are people guns loaded at their house?

I believe it is 100% okay to have guns in a house with children but they should be locked up in a safe some place high where only the adults can get to it. People have to have common sense especially with a deadly weapon around children.
