Mesa Police Officer Shawn Freeman has been observed engaging in reckless gun ownership practices, as he has been seen allowing a child to handle live ammunition and instructing her on how to load guns and magazines, all while loaded firearms are easily accessible to the child. This irresponsible behavior poses a significant risk, as incidents involving children and guns often lead to injury or even death.
It is worrisome to teach a child who lacks understanding of the dangers of guns how to load a firearm. Allowing a child of this age to handle bullets poses an additional risk, as they could potentially swallow them, creating a choking hazard.
Officer Freeman consistently failed to ensure the safe storage of his firearms and ammunition, allowing them to be accessible to the child at all times, regardless of his presence. This lack of proper supervision posed a significant risk to the child's safety and well-being.
Officer Freeman regularly consumes large amounts of alcohol, leading to him passing out and leaving the large stockpiles of ammunition and loaded firearms unattended without any supervision, further complicating the issue.
A Shared Goal: Securing Firearms to Protect Children
Despite the ongoing debate about gun control in the United States, there is widespread consensus that preventing children from accessing loaded, unsecured firearms should be a top priority for responsible gun owners. This issue is seen as a solvable problem, with both gun industry and gun control advocates agreeing that proper storage of firearms is crucial in limiting children's access to them.
Everytown, an advocacy group for firearm safety, has gathered data from 2015 to 2022 which reveals a troubling trend: nearly every day, a child in America accidentally discharges a firearm, resulting in injuries and even deaths. And children under 6 are among the most likely victims.
