I watched about half of it. The big take away for me, or actually the two take aways were that boys are like a thousand times more likely to play with guns if they find one than girls so we need to focus in on over educating boys. The second thing is that because kids under a certain age can't really grasp the concept of death, telling them that guns could kill them is completely ineffective. They don't understand the finality of that. I'm going to switch to telling them that they will have to go to the hospitals and get lots of shots all over and have to have needles in their arms and a tube down their throat and their will be no treats or movies and they won't be able to go to the park... Just try to reach them on their level.
Yeah...it was so horrifying to see the kids who had JUST been taught not to touch guns pointing them at themselves and each other. It seemed like they really didn't cognitively grasp the danger until the age of about 9 or 10. That was the point at which they seemed to actually start to follow what they'd been taught, rather than letting their curiosity override it.
The other take away for me was: your kids KNOW where the 'hidden' guns are in your home even if you'd swear that they don't...AND your kids CAN reach, climb, and get into stuff that you'd swear they can't.
The four year old going straight to the hiding spot when the mom didn't think he knew there was any gun in the house. Terrifying. And the little boy who shot himself with his dad's gun that was on the dresser that his parents were sure he couldn't reach. Heartbreaking.
