wo Republican lawmakers say a controversial recommendation in the Arizona Child Fatality Review Program’s annual review runs afoul of the Constitution.
Republican Reps. Quang Nguyen and Selina Bliss are raising concerns about the review’s suggestion to “to remove all firearms in households with children because the presence of firearms in a household increases the risk of suicide among adolescents.”
“Proposals to strip citizens of their firearms are not only unconstitutional but also lack common sense,” Nguyen stated. “While the report suggests reasonable safety measures for other risks, such as drowning, the CFRT overreaches by advocating for the elimination of firearms entirely from homes with children.”
The review further said that parents should get rid of firearms in houses with adolescents as well as “practice safe storage” for “all gun owners.”
