This is already a sad situation, and then they have to make it worse by charging the mother, thanks to Initiative 1639.

They must think that you can prevent suicides by locking up guns.  They should look at suicide statistics in Japan.

MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Prosecutors said a state prisons employee didn’t properly secure the gun her 12-year-old son used to die by suicide, leading to a first-of-its-kind criminal charge in Snohomish County.

That mother is already suffering worse than anything to court can do to her. Any further punishment is just cruel and unusual at this point.

 Jesus Christ, haven't they suffered enough already?  

 I can't wait for the day that Washington's bullshit gun laws get overturned in court.  Seeing Bob Ferguson's reaction will be satisfying; seeing all of his work undone.  The supreme court win has started this process, but its anyone's guess how long it will take.  California keeps passing gun control laws and they don't give a damn what the supreme court says.

Meanwhile in Washington state, dope addict parents leave meth and heroine out on the kitchen counter for kids and Democrats are more than happy with it.

Good 'ol boy Jim Kerlikowski is lucky his unsecured Glock was lifted from his patrol car glove box before this law was passed.

Haven't gun storage laws already been ruled unconstitutional?

The Edmonds law was ruled unconstitutional because it was stricter than the state law.  IIRC, IANAL.

It violated preemption:
RCW 9.41.290 State preemption.

Well that is interesting.  The worker should fight it all the way, so the law gets shit canned since it is excessively intrusive and unconstitutional.  Bet they offer a sweet plea bargain to stay out of appeals court though...
