Polk County League of Women Voters distributes 1,800 gun locks to save lives
A Polk County group is equipping hundreds of residents with free gun locks in hopes that it will save lives. “It’s very important that people understand that children of a very young age pull triggers and it affects families for the rest of their lives,” said Dr. Trudy Rankin. Dr. Rankin is the co-chair of the League of Women Voters of Polk County’s gun safety committee. The nonpartisan organization is working to prevent loaded guns from getting into the hands of children.
