3 Letters - GSW. Anytime we see these letters, it means we're seeing a child with 1+ gun shot wounds. The recovery process is often brutal and the consequences often lifelong...when kids survive.
Adults - WE are responsible. WE have the capacity to prevent this. PLEASE restrict access to weapons - lock them up, keep ammo separate, or rid your home of them altogether.
Why? Gun violence and GSWs are PREVENTABLE! Kids do not know better. Kids are curious. Kids know every hiding spot in your house, so if there's a gun "hidden" away but not locked up, they know about it. Kids are semi-logical in reasoning at best. Kids make mistakes. We put toy versions of the real thing in their hands from toddler years - of course the black shiny ones look cool.
Let’s stay safe, honor our active military and vets, and protect our future this memorial weekend and beyond!
