Oxford school shooting: Michigan congresswoman to introduce bill requiring secure firearm storage in homes
Fox News
Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., on Wednesday announced plans to introduce legislation requiring secure firearm storage in homes with children.
Community members have since been calling for policy changes to prevent any future school shootings in the area.
"This came directly from the situation in Oxford. Over the past two weeks, I've been at church services and vigils and funerals and community meetings, and while the community is still in shock and crisis-response mode, the one thing that everyone seemed to agree on was the role of the parents in this particular incident," Slotnik told Fox News Digital.
"I grew up in a gun-owning family. I carried a Glock and an M4 when I was on my three tours in Iraq as a CIA officer. My dad is a gun owner. I have no problem with responsible gun ownership. Michigan has millions of responsible gun owners. But this law was drafted so that if you have a weapon, and there's a reasonable expectation that there's going to be a child in the home … that you have to keep it secure, and there are lots of ways to do that."
