According to recent data from the Children’s Defense Fund, a child or teen is killed by a gun every 2 hours and 36 minutes in America.
At the World Conference of Mayors in Tuskegee, Alabama leaders were focused on tackling one topic, gun violence. The leaders met on Thursday to discuss a gun storage system that could save a child’s life and potentially decrease crime.
“Every time I feel, and I hear about a child accessing a firearm, and I didn’t get to them, I feel that I failed to reach that family,” said William McMurray, developer of the RAC. “We want the RAC to become the new and more effective product to be given away by cities, by states, and by the federal government to provide a safe storage solution,” said McMurray
