He said last year they saw 45 accidental shooting-related injuries in the ER, 8 were fatal. Over the past three years, a total number of 155 accidental shooting injuries, and 15 of those children died."One day, I saw a two-year-old who came in and shot himself and unfortunately, I saw my own child in it and that was a spark for me to say, 'I need to do more,'" said Guzman who is also a father and a gun owner.
"I want to challenge everyone out there, if you own a firearm look at what you're doing at home and how you're storing your firearms and take a look at what can we do better to keep our kids safer," Guzman said. "If you own a gun you have to be responsible and know that a gun can kill someone within your own family, you can use it for protection, yes, but it has that lethality that someone in your home could get hurt if it’s not stored properly," he said.
