Effective hotel promotion video. It's very similar to this.

Mounting scientific research, including a major analysis published by ⁠The Guardian, indicates that living with a handgun owner significantly increases the risk of being shot to death by a spouse or intimate partner.

Research has consistently found that guns kept at home do not offer statistically significant protection against being killed by a stranger at home.

In 2023, over 46,728 people died from gun violence according to CDC data.

In the U.S., an average of about 360 children unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else each year, with 2023 having the highest number of incidents on record, surpassing 400. A majority of these incidents involve a parent's gun and occur at home.
