We explore the devastating issue of family fire, where at least 8 children and teenagers are injured or killed every day due to improperly stored or misused firearms in the home. Kyleanne Hunter, a combat veteran and Senior Political Scientist at RAND, discusses the importance of gun safety and the End Family Fire initiative, which aims to prevent these tragic incidents. Join us to learn how firearm owners and non-owners can work together to create a gun violence-free future.
