One in five Colorado high school students say it is"sort of easy" or"very easy" to access a handgun, a study found.
New research, published Monday in The Journal of Pediatrics, analyzed 2019 data collected in Colorado as part of the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey -- an anonymous survey of more than 46,500 high school students in the state. As part of a larger survey, the students were asked"If you wanted to get a handgun, how easy would it be for you to get one?" Colorado congressman calls for federal action on gun legislation in wake of Boulder mass shootingThe researchers found that 11.

One in five Colorado students aren’t going to grow up to be complete idiots too.
Shits easier than getting crack
X's 50 states
If you have the right connect you could get any gun you want for the right price
CNN would rather talk about guns that no one is going to stop there and talking about all the black people committing racial attacks
Education on firearms and the 4 rules should be compulsory at all schools.
Does not matter having laws or not people will get there hands on guns a fact just a click away online .
Gun control is RACIST because it denies that basic human right to minorities who live in bad neighborhoods and are near poverty
Ban all guns. If it’s your “hobby”, find something else to do like knitting
So Fake Biased News CNN doesn't want to talk about the border crisis because it doesn't fit your agenda now?
Wow that’s terrible! I believe every American child should have easy access to a handgun. injustice Equality
Good.
Wow, we didn't know this? Is this a news?
Why is this assumed bad? I or my brother would have answered the same because when my father traveled for work we were prepared to protect the the family if someone tried to break in.
We must stop CNN's indoctrination! They are telling us what to think and how to think. Do your own homework, don't rely on this media.
Well yeah.. Their parents all own guns.. What CNN nonsense is this supposed to be? This and a native gun culture and a teenagers ego narrative. of course they will say 'Very Easy' or 'Sort of easy'. No news here just common sense.
Because criminals buy the gun and sale the weapon to a kid for either the same price or at higher than retail price. Your not the news anymore Leave the reporting to us now mkay.
Yet on the whole very few shootings by high school kids compared to NYC or Chicago’s inner city teenage blacks. Forgot to mention that CNN. If you want change - report the truth
美国人多杀美国人哈哈 加油 这是我希望美好的你 美国垃圾废物
It's also your Constitutional right to own a gun.
Ask the Colorado Students how many genders there are. The ones that answer 2 are the ones that I 'might' believe about guns.
Last week they were grown up enough to vote
Too much weapons ammunition guns.
Terrible article and even more terrible study. Likely that 100% of the 20% have never even tried to purchase or get their hands on a gun, just regurgitate lies told by MSM and Dems. Astonishing that any reader with a nugget of brain matter would find anything substantive here.
My teenage daughter has 6, sooooo.
Maybe another reason parents should be accountable for any crimes committed by their children using 'their' guns
Well that is disturbing, in my state
And the mental health care system is nonexistent in Colorado. Does this make any sense?
I don't want to have one unless I am prepared to use it and unless the horrible crimes it is for can come to an end....
ridiculous
Why need the US Guns its so stupid
If this sort of thing only happens in America on a daily basis it's not hard to work out what the problem is. Amendments can be amended for the times we live in now.
And my mother remembers taking her .22 to school with her. She and numerous other high school students would bring firearms ON THE BUS, once at SCHOOL they would place their firearms IN THEIR LOCKERS to later be retrieved for GYM class.
It shouldn’t be hard to use your constitutional right
Війна триває😠 Допоможіть поширити правду
And 5 out of 5 kids find it “incredibly easy” to buy drugs - the same drugs that kill about 850% more kids every year than guns do. So we should definitely make it illegal for kids to buy drugs, right?...oh, wait... We do that don’t we?
Crazy
You’re misguided. People don’t get guns then decide it’s an easy path to kill someone. People decide to kill someone, then decide guns are an easy path. Without guns, a killer will find a knife, some fire, a car, an explosive, a brick, some poison, ....
Funny that to own a handgun LEGALLY, you have to the age of 21 years old. They must be referring to buying a gun on a street corner from criminals.
Thats not true, pre- register gun buyer and has to have more than 25 years and así neighbors about the buyer and check on Psychiatris
Easier to access a knife! Do you know that statistically, thousands more deaths are committed with knives as apposed to guns! Isn’t it time we have a meaningful law against cutlery? I challenge congress to come up with a bill to protect us from knives! Except butter knives!
Good! They can protect their families! THOUSANDS of saved lives to the extraordinarily rare event of a life taken. CNN loves it when innocent people die so they put out propaganda trash.
Just another day in America whats new.
Sold by the same guys that sell drugs perhaps?
Crazy. Should be almost impossible in a real world
I'm so shocked by this. I thought in good ol' US of A it's hard to get murder weapons. Suppose it explains a lot.
1 in 5 cant read
Wow CNN trying to be real journalist. If you want a gun, there are plenty of easy ways to get one. But good try on the investigation. No Trump and fake news, so we can see your weaknesses. You should fire everyone and start over.
We’ve learned nothing since Columbine&have actually allowed this problem to get WAY worse.Kids now have access to guns being carried by our troops in war zones.Guns made to cause wounds so bad the enemy can’t get up to shoot back. Im horrified &want to homeschool my kid bc of it.
「高校生も拳銃をかんたんに入手できる」コロラドでは、銃犯罪を根本的に防ぐことは難しいでしょうね。
It’s legal.
We need to get that number up to at least four in five.
Being your neighbor to the North we don't have the same rights for guns as you all do in America, But this is how I see it... For home protection 2 hand guns and 2 shotguns. .... 1/2
Scary.
WELL. SOMETHING SHOULD B DONE BOUT OPEN CARRY STATES LIKE THAT!-!!!BUT ULTIMATLY ITS THE NUT PULLING TFIGGER. NOT ENOUGH BACKROUND ALL TOGETHER TOK YOUNG. 30YRS OLD FOR ANY PERMIT.
Even if that was the case witch it's not because CNN is fake news. Your destroying your own case because if it's true how come there's not constant shootings in the school's.

Friends, if you can help with a donation, repost, please go to my page and read my story. Thank you. Need help
Is this surprising to anyone? There are at least 70 million handguns in the US. Its relatively 'easy' to get drugs that will kill you and many other things we wish our kids didnt have access to. Price we pay for having a somewhat libertarian society.
So the vast majority, 80%, don’t think it’s easy? More clicks if you spin the negative angle tho I guess.
Good.
As it should be. Read the second amendment
That's pretty cool
This is the problem, easy access to illegal guns.
I’m sure the numbers are higher in NYC
So majority think it isn’t easy? That’s better news
Is it legal for minors to open firearms?
True
I imagine any teen would say the same. One of them always knows someone for the right price
When do U.S. get the point... NOBODY has a reason to have a gun ●¿●
This just dumb. There is no way to stop criminals from getting guns. We can’t stop drugs or crime, how ignorant can one be to take guns from honest citizens and violate our Constitution
Falling out of my chair...
As it should be in a free nation.
So CNN when are y'all moving your headquarters out of Georgia
Good. I'm glad more kids are able to enjoy shooting sports.
Next, ask them about drugs. Since those are already banned, I'm sure none of them have access. 😅🤣😂
Do they actually “sort of” have easy access to handguns or are they responding to leading questions with their *sense* of ease of access?
Was there an “extremely” easy category?
How about illegal drugs coming across our borders

How many of them have easy access to drugs ?
So 80% responded very hard or sort of hard. Would love to see this broken down by geographic location
Ever noticed that “mass shootings” seem to always take place more under a democrat administration? 🤔
90+% of all white gun owners across america kids have access to parents guns.smdh 1out of 5 my ass!
100% let's teach our kids how to use a gun because parents are too busy for them
And it is super super super easy for gangs to get guns...Wake up people!
School kids are dumb and think they can. There’s either the legal way which is impossible or stealing it from a parent. Gun safety is the issue then? Clearly.
Yeah it's easy to get a handgun, CNN. You send the file to your 3d printer and click 'Print.'
Look at what Iowa's Governor did, in the wake of mass shootings she just made it a lot easier to get a gun. For one party that touts a pro life agenda at every mountain top, they sure don't give a damn unless you are a fetus.
Mine have access to more than a handgun and know how to use every one of them. I’ve been teaching them since they were 5. Preparing them for the world you Democrats are trying to throw them in.
Had my first gun when I was 4.
The movie theater shooting wasn’t enough?

Are we now simply believing minor teenagers since they're so well known for their truth and honesty? What an odd question to ask and show as though it's reality. I'd rather know if they actually have access, not if they claim they do.
America's gun culture is an enormous scam. Conservative politicians work with gun manufacturers to scare the citizenry into fearing one another. The mindless people spend billions. They laugh at you and keep scaring you. Fear sells well. You should be fearing rich sociopaths more
Buy one in Phila on the streets anytime. NEES FLASH Michigan Antrim Co just voted to use paper ballots in the spring election. The audit showed 68% of the votes were adjudication. All November adjudication records lost for 2020.Operators decided where 68% of all votes went.
You will never learn.
Guns & alcohol both can kill but we must regulate the on the kills the least amount of ppl.
NRA is the problem
Okay and
Quite shocking. Doesn't this make it reason enough to ban Weapons. In the last 10 years, how many kids have lost their lives due to this?
Easier to access a vehicle and ram it into a crowd. Result would be the same. There would be dead people. So why isn't Congress drafting legislation on motor vehicles?
they are well behaved as there are few gunshot in school
OnlyInAmerica
Good evidence for gun safety training at high school.
These high school students sound cool as fuck.
It's Easy in The all United States
Those are some irresponsible parents if they can access it. Can't deny for a kid to get a gun an adult had to have been irresponsible at some point
usa
What were their choices Sort of Easy Very easy I already have one
то есть это новость ?! этого никогда не было, и теперь снова! ахахахааа!
CNN has no credibility
And this is backed by the constitution. Don’t you think it’s time for a change?
if i was in hs id check the dumbest option as well tbh
I counted 37 gun shops in Littleton, CO where Columbine High School is. Population 48,171 in 2020.
😳🥲
Gov't can help in first two points 1- Add one chapter in our KIDs Textbook to show these are BAD habits & Explain its Consequences with Logical points 2- STOP glorifying it as freedom Leaders & Celebrities have to QUIT these BAD habits to show their MERCY for our Kids & Youth.
3-Create Social pressure....Society can create this.....Just like..... they show difference to a Prostitute Family VS Highly Moral & Ethical Family.....

Create social pressure where people would feel guilty conscience after having Smoking, Alcohol, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex and Extramarital Affairs. They must lose the respect from children, family and friends. Sometimes bitter pills are also needed to FIX chronic diseases....

Pot and pistols ... welcome to Colorado !
Jarring, horrific, or utterly scary? Take your pick! I feel the sheer fact that such hypothesis has been proven, constitutes as a wake up call for not only law makers but the public! Today it’s news about someone you don’t know killed, tomorrow it could be about a family member!

The world looks at the US gun laws in amazement. Every other western country has a mass shooting and guns get banned, mass shootings stop. America has mass shootings and gun sales go up 🤦🏼♂️ As a police officer in the U.K. after 12 years I come across 1 gun in the wrong hands.

Four in five Colorado high school students say they do 'the sex' all the time with their friend from Canada, a study finds.
It’s the Wild West.
And? Look back in the day you'd teach your kids proper safety and respect for firearms, hell we even had classes in schools on firearms training. Fear of guns lends to the kind of fucked up mindset thst leads to these tragedies. That and y'alls need to plaster the names
It’s super easy when law enforcement floods the streets with guns 🙄🙄🙄....I hate when they try to play us as fools.
Lovely
great :-|
I certain the feel that way.
Oh wow some high school kids said something. Good lord
4 out of 5 kids have access to tide pods. The dumb ones will eat them.
Ma gunssss
It’s much easier for dead people to vote, I hear.
Here
So do the students in Chicago 🤔
i_am_opera_212 Follow me for instant follow back guys
We are in a bit of shit. I'm hearing your news and what's happening is the beginning of the end. I'm so sorry.
That's just the ones that were willing to tell the truth
I thought this was a naughty pic at first lol 🤣🍆
Tell them to prove it. We can say whatever we want
Most of them get them right out the “locked” gun cabinets at home 😏 They also prohibit gun registration there. Not only that but someone 21 can go buy one and hand it off to a kid, quick easy money made. They gotta do better.
They shouldn’t have access to guns and that’s going to start another high school shooting 😒. They need some gun reinforce laws
Super

Well, mine certainly do. I want my Asian-American teenage daughters at home be able to defend themselves from the hate crimes so prevalent from Black Americans right now 🤷♂️ Or am I supposed to believe they're not allowed to do that?
terrifying
It's a start, but it needs to get to 5 out of 5.
As opposed to affording college- cool story, country.
Now to Chicago. Clearly handguns are abundant there despite higher than US average gun laws. And clearly there are a lot more gun murders there, too. But that won't fit a CNN narrative. Because it is POC being murdered by POC.
Duh. It’s amperes after all.

Thank God for bringing bitcoin to man,it has being a great source of blessing to all of man kind who have passion for bitcoin trading. Now the poor are getting rich over night and the rich getting richer. SamuelEddy_3 thank you for your proper management .
Tighter gun laws won’t stop mass killings. People need to realize that these people are just crazy. Yes you might stop “shootings” but if someone is hell bent on causing mass killings they will find a way. Do some research and see what has happened in other countries.
Oh, a survey 😂😂😂😂
You mean they aren't getting them legally? Color me shocked. Let's make it illegal to buy illegal guns; that will fix it.
It may be harder to get your hands on a bowling ball in Colorado- than a gun! GunControlNow
These high-school kids have some very irresponsible parents then
It's very easy if your a criminal like Hunter Biden . You just lie on your firearms application about doing drugs ,although you may end up in prison because you ain't privileged like the Politicians and their families .
'The suggestion that a twerp like Lindsey Graham could be some sort of tough guy fending away apocalyptic invaders is just the narrative they sell. It's what the gun lobby wants Republicans to say in order to sell more guns,' .
No law will prevent a bad guy from getting a gun.
More like 5 in 1 👀
Could these 1 in 5 show the people doing the study the gun they could access or did a teenager just tell them it was easy? Kids in high school say a lot of things
And why!? Cuz their parents own them guns. Most shown their kids who to access the gun for nec means. The study is a joke! Dont believe the lies the media tells ya.
People will spend hundreds of dollars to turn their assault rifles into a war machine and then leave them on a shelf, where they can be reached by children or stolen.
Illegally!!!!
If you think the problem in the U.S. is kids having access to powerful technology and not kids wanting to kill other kids, you're haven't actually thought this through. Ideally America would be so healthy and stable that we start repealing laws rather than writing new ones.

Why ask students? Adults know it.
Ever talked to a current high schooler?
They are high on colorado
