From cradle to grave
The federal government is going to outlaw drop-side cribs because 32 children have died in 10 years [“Government moves to ban drop-side cribs,” News, May 22].
Any child’s death is tragic, but this is a ludicrous area to focus on when our country leads the world in gun deaths each year. If the government truly wants to get serious about protecting our children, and I believe it should, then begin comprehensive gun control now.
It is ridiculous that sometime soon, I could be arrested for selling a drop-side crib, but could still easily purchase an assault rifle.
