    Honestly, with firearm related accidental deaths being a cause here a change us americans could push for is proper gun safes and security. Just like how we should secure harsh cleaning chemicals, pharmacuticals, and sharp objects.

    More adolecents should be trained on firearm safety, maybe even like how STI campaigns are run in order to counteract the “sex appeal” that is pushed in our media as well.

    Unfortunetly I don’t see either totally addressing deaths of despair, it could buy the kid more time if copuled with added safty measures (i.e. a childs safty cap isnt going to stop a teen from opening it). This also applies to interteen violence that drives the number.
