"Of the leading causes of death for children now ABC News crime and terrorism analyst Brad Garrett is on our northwest news line. It seems we asked this all the time, but what can be done about it, Brad? The problem is, how do you actually take such a big number? I mean, 45,000 people a year die from gun violence. From suicides to obviously homicides to accidental shootings to kids getting their hands on guns or like two examples in Philadelphia and Oakland where kids basically just started opening up on another group of kids, football players in Philadelphia. Can you stem the flow sometimes of guns into the city to a certain extent you can, but it's an ongoing thing. Can we do a better job of seeing who actually has access to guns? We're going to have to fill the holes that we can still with background checks, red flag laws, and the ability to better monitor how guns come into. Let's say Seattle. Are they coming in from another state? Those kind of things. But it is not there is no fix to this, but we can certainly make it better and add to that, obviously, better security of weapons at home to avoid accidental shootings. Brad, thanks for your thoughts this morning, former FBI agent, and ABC News crime and terrorism analyst. Brad Garrett. This has been a morning news rewind with manufacture and Greg Herschel on northwest news radio. The dawn of camp and invest is at hand, and the jury is still out over whether it will truly reduce the state's carbon emissions. I'm corwin hake with your northwest news extra. Luke martland with the State Department of ecology reminds state lawmakers the cap and invest program they passed into law last year and forces carbon emissions limits on industry but permits a company to purchase allowances, also called offsets equal to their total emissions. Over time both the cap and the number of allowances available shrinks. And that process of setting a cap and having a decrease over time and having the number of allowances available, decrease over time, creates a powerful incentive for covered entities to reduce their admissions. Addressing the house environment and energy committee, Marlin says allowances can be sold or traded, but the effect is still expected to be net carbon reduction, allowances are to be auctioned off by the state four times a year starting in February 2023. Sounds like a system right to be gamed and abused. Martland thinks not. Through their registration process, we require a great deal of information. And that will help us to ensure there is no self dealing, no effort to manipulate the market in any way, or to engage in any inappropriate or illegal behavior. Still, he admits we won't know exactly if or how well cap and invest will work until it's underway in about three months. Let's get the program up and running. Let's have the first auctions. Let's see the impact it has on different sectors. With your northwest, news extra, I'm corwyn hake. DUI related fatalities in Washington state are rising as we approach a dangerous time.
