About 7 million kids live in a home with a loaded and unlocked gun, a study finds

A study estimates that 32 million children live in homes with firearms, and a significant portion of those guns are not stored safely. Here, handguns are displayed at Kittery Trading Post, in Kittery, Maine.

The new study in JAMA Network Open also finds that more parents leave their guns loaded and unlocked when they have teenagers, despite the fact that suicide risk goes up for this age group.
