A report from an Arizona government entity suggesting that the best way to protect the state’s children from so-called “gun violence” is to “remove all firearms in households with children” is getting some major pushback from Republican state lawmakers.
The annual report to the legislature by the Arizona Child Fatality Review Team (CFRT), which reviewed child deaths in 2023, includes the team’s recommendation that it “believes that the most effective way to prevent firearm-related deaths in children is to remove all firearms in households with children because the presence of firearms in a household increases the risk of suicide among adolescents.”
If you think confiscating guns from every Arizona home that has a child in it sounds extreme, rest assured that the chairman and vice chairman of the state House Judiciary Committee feel exactly the way about the proposal, according to a news release issued by them.
