What do kids do when they find a gun?
Researchers hid a disabled gun in their lab and then watched to see what kids would do. Out of 226 children ages 8 to 12, 96% discovered the firearm. But what they did next differed based on whether they'd watched a gun safety video or a car safety video at home a week prior.
