Washington State Earns a D+ from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

Published by AndrewsDad under Northwest

Originally via Instapundit, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun violence puts out a yearly scorecard for all states giving a letter grade based on a number of criteria, and Washington State earned a D+ for 2005. The breakdown of the grades are as such:

Juvenile Possession Law B+

Juvenile Sale/Transfer Law A

Child Access Prevention Law F

Gun Safety Locks and Safer Design Standards F

Allow Cities To Regulate Guns (Non-Preempt) D-

Secondary "Private" Sales Background Checks F

Carrying Concealed Weapons Law F
