TEXAS – With safety on the minds of parents after deadly school shootings, one campaign claims danger also lurks at home with 5 million children having access to loaded guns.

According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, 75 percent of children know where their parent’s guns are kept. Additionally, eight children die or are hurt unintentionally by a misused gun every day.

These numbers are what led to the launch of the End Family Fire campaign led by a group of law enforcement, military, and medical professionals nationwide. The movement calls for gun owners to store their guns properly, especially if they have children at home.

Military veteran Hector Adames lost his 13-year-old nephew, Joshua, after he was accidentally shot by a friend in 2001. Since then, it has been Adames' mission to spread the message.

"It's a pain that you just learn to live with. It doesn't go away, it doesn't get any better or easier. You know, we have birthdays and the anniversary of his death and days of those sort where you think back and reflect. And, you often reflect what kind of man he would be today," said Adames.

Campaign organizers recommend gun owners use trigger locks to prevent their guns from firing or lock their firearms in a gun safe.
