Nationally researchers found that those who were told about the cable locks each time they made a purchase were more than four times likely to use a locking device on their firearms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These finding highlight an important role for firearm retailers in keeping firearm owners, their loved ones and their communities safe,&#8221; Anestis said.<\/p>\n<p>Although cable locks and similar devices can&#8217;t prevent all firearm injuries and deaths, research has shown that storing firearms unlocked and more readily accessible increases the risk of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/200330\/\">all forms of gun violence<\/a>. Lowering the odds that someone will access a firearm that they shouldn&#8217;t access offers substantial promise as a method to prevent tragedies\u2014whether that means preventing a child from picking up a firearm and unintentionally shooting themselves or creating a barrier between a firearm owner and their weapon during a moment of crisis, researchers insist.<\/p>\n<p>According to Shelby Bandel, a doctoral student at the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center and the lead author of the study, these findings indicate that firearm retailers are a pivotal component of effort to lower the risk of firearminjury and death.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Encouraging retailers to notify firearm buyers about the included locking devices may be a scalable tool for increasing secure firearm storage,&#8221; Bandel said. &#8220;A simple conversation about how and why to use a lock may very well save a life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                    Shelby L.
