I'm here because I recently found out my cousin has been secretly crying every night because her older brother and 16 year old brother were held at gun point in their room while she was asleep in her room and their dad seems to not care about them. This happened back in July after my birthday, and yet I didn't even know anything about this until today.
Her older brother was told if anyone else was in the house and he replied that there wasn't. The criminals ran away when they heard someone at the kitchen(it was their dad). Ever since then, my cousin (the one who said "No" to the criminals) has been paranoid all year long. He now only sleeps during the mornings & afternoon and awake at the night. Him and I have been best friends since we were babies. But since we have our own lives now, it's not always easy to visit him whenever I want. My earliest memories were him, me, and his little sister running and playing tag in the apartment when I was 4 (currently I'm 22).
Side comment:
The government should pay you $2,500-$5,000 when you know someone that ILLEGALLY has a firearm. An extra $1,000 for every gun after the first one. Or something like this where you are given an incentive such as money. Because no one, or at least most people, won't do this unless they get something out of it.
Example: You get $5,000 after the police imprisons the bad guy you reported to police about having an illegally firearm. And you get an extra $3,000 if the cops find 3 other guns that the bad guy has. So in total you get $8,000 from the government because the bad guy had 4 guns.
