From the AP<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Democratic state <\/span>lawmakers are pushing to create an office on firearm-violence prevention in order to improve data sources, collection methods and sharing mechanisms statewide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Seattle Times reports that Senate Bill 6288 would also help fund local evidence-based violence-reduction initiatives. The measure passed its committee vote in January, and is currently in the Senate Ways & Means Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

King County is home to many of these initiatives, which work with community partners to intervene in the lives of young people who may be headed toward violence or crime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Proponents of the bill say it would allow communities to decide how to best address their unique experience with gun violence. For example, some rural communities may face more gun-related suicides than interpersonal violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis is a way of getting ahead of gun violence in our state,\u201d prime sponsor Sen. Manka Dhingra, D-Redmond, said. Dhingra is a senior deputy prosecuting attorney in King County.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But some Republicans say the bill is a partisan push for gun control. Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, argues that creating another state office is unnecessary, and is skeptical as to whether the proposed office would act as an advocacy group for gun restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
