We are already losing lives to the panic. A man in Albuquerque who told authorities he bought a gun because of the coronavirus outbreak shot his 13-year-old cousin on Thursday, March 19th, killing him. He didn’t think the gun was loaded.
That’s why we’re standing up the #StopTheCoronavirusGunSurge campaign: to inform the public, particularly first-time gun owners, about the danger of panic-buying guns.
