Help keep guns from kids, crooks
|
Whitney Graves of Marysville would be 15 years old this year. Maybe playing soccer, probably dreaming about getting her learner's permit next year. But Whitney Graves was accidentally killed when a 10-year-old neighbor got hold of a gun more than six years ago. Still struggling for life is legislation that could make it less likely that another child will die the same way.
It's been so long since the girl's death and so many legislative sessions have come and gone without passage of the safe firearms storage legislation that the bill no longer bears her name. Nonetheless, maybe this will be the year that legislators allow their concern for children's safety to override their fear of political fallout from passing any sort of gun legislation. Gee, the media are dancing in blood again. Why am I not surprised? |
