North Carolina gun laws would strengthen under a push by Child Fatality Task Force
Fox News
North Carolina’s Child Fatality Task Force met Wednesday with lawmakers to suggest ways the state gun storage laws can be strengthened.
"The time it takes you to lock up is the same to put a seatbelt on or put your child in a child safety seat," said William Lassiter, the deputy secretary for the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for the Department of Public Safety. "Those few seconds can save you from a lifetime of tragedy."
Currently, firearms are one of the top causes of death for children in the state. The state also ranks 12th in the U.S. for young lives lost to gun violence.
