In many cases, the children shot themselves, while others killed siblings or friends, according to the gun control advocacy group.

At least 157 people were killed and 270 were injured last year in unintentional shootings by children, according to Everytown, an advocacy group for firearm safety.

    In the US, kids are going to find guns, because some owners are going to be lazy, careless, or just tired and not thinking straight.

    Then the conditions for being a gun owner are vastly too permissive and the punishments for negligence are vastly too light.

    The fact that you just skipped straight over this to blame schools and parents shows that your opinions are already hopelessly compromised by pro-gun rhetoric.
