Gun Lock Distribution

According to American Academy of Pediatrics (AAPP), an estimated 4.6 million kids live with unlocked, loaded guns. Unintentional shootings happen to children of all ages, but the risk of accidental death is 4 times higher in homes with guns. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) – Pediatrics estimates if 1/2 of the households with children that contain at least one unlocked gun switched to locking their guns, 1/3 of youth gun suicides and unintentional death could be prevented. UNCOM is proud to stand with our partners at the City of Milwaukee Mayor’s Office, the Office of Violence Prevention, the Milwaukee Police Department, the Milwaukee Fire Department and many community members to distribute gun locks across the City.
