Many crime guns traced to YOUTH UNDER 25??? Submitted by: skypod Website: http://GunControlVictories.com	There are no comments on this story Post Comments \| Read Comments
"A report from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF) found that 43% of the guns recovered in crimes were traced to YOUTH UNDER AGE 25." (emphasis mine) HELLO? Is there anyone home at the ATF? The legal age for adulthood is 18. Even if they wanted to stretch it, the maximum age in any state for people to be able to own a handgun is 21.

Property used in the commission of a crime can be seized and forfeited to the government in a civil action prosecuted and adjudicated by the law enforcement authority, independent of any criminal filing or conviction. This concept has been a major moneymaker for law enforcement agencies, many of which create special units for the sole purpose of pursuing crime related to large property interests.
