Million Mom March

children were killed by guns accidentally. They did not know whether the gun was fake or real. The presence of unlocked guns in homes increases the risk of both unintentional gun injuries and intentional shootings. Almost no one in the government cared about the incident but women did.

Their opponents compared statistics between countries where this law was in effect and showed that there were no changes. In other words, a country after passing the gun law showed no difference in number of children who were killed by guns. There were a lot debates but eventually the government passed the safe storage law. Due to women, safe storage laws require guns to be stored locked and unloaded when any person prohibited from possessing a gun is present in the gun owner’s home.
