U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who represents the district where a 15-year-old is accused of killing four students at Oxford High School and wounding seven other people, said Wednesday she will propose a law requiring firearms to be safely stored and kept out of the hands of children. The legislation, if it were to pass, would call for gun owners who do not properly secure their weapons to face up to five years in prison if a child gets a gun and injures themselves or others, or uses it in the commission of a crime. "Everyone's priority is to keep our kids safe and it's clear there's a gap in law that makes it hard to hold parents accountable for aiding their child in committing a crime with a gun," said Slotkin, D-Holly.
