It started with one article. Then two. Shyanne Roberts, then 9, drew statewide media attention after she testified in March before the state Assembly's Law and Public Safety Committee hearing against a bill reducing the legal limit of rounds in a firearm's magazine.
The bill was vetoed by Governor Christie in July, but focus on Shyanne's amateaur competitive shooting career and outspoken opposition to gun control measures continues to swell.
It took a tragedy in Arizona — where in August, a 9-year-old girl from New Jersey accidentally shot and killed an instructor at a shooting range when she lost control of an Uzi — to propel Shyanne to the national level, as she tried to be a living example that children can handle guns safely.
