Florida kids who carry guns could face higher penalties under proposal
A bill sponsor pointed to a fatal Christmas Eve shooting in Largo that began when two teens argued over presents.
try and find some of those parents.Need to be tougher on kids and parents. If a kid uses a parents gun, parents should be also responsible for what the kid does.
as it is at least here, a juvi is set free when he/she turns 18...to me, that is BS.I think the bill by making it a felony will allow the Florida courts to charge juveniles as adults and lock them up. Right now the juvenile system is a revolving door and judges hands are often tied. Many of these feral "children" are dangerous criminals who need to be behind bars. LE and The courts really need to come down hard on these youthful hoods, they need the tools.
Also Hayes the Feds don't usually want to prosecute juveniles. My son has had to deal with this where juveniles have been arrested and are in possession of stolen firearms. Then it is up to the local prosecuter to press the issue.I think the bill by making it a felony will allow the Florida courts to charge juveniles as adults and lock them up.

If the kid takes the family car and goes out and gets drunk are the parents also responsible for that?Need to be tougher on kids and parents. If a kid uses a parents gun, parents should be also responsible for what the kid does.
Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing it. It could be the toughest bill in the world but if the DA is not going to prosecute it's meaningless.As long there are catch and release DA's with no-bail any new bills without teeth are just another feel good bill.

Years ago when I worked in a middle school one of my students took his sister's car (without permission of course) and totaled it. She had to have him charged with auto theft in order to get the insurance company to cover her loss.If the kid takes the family car and goes out and gets drunk are the parents also responsible for that?
NoThanks for saving me the trouble of typing it. It could be the toughest bill in the world but if the DA is not going to prosecute it's meaningless.
Isn't it already a felony?
I live just far enough from chicago,but I can see what a lazy DA and a useless mayor brings to this city.Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing it. It could be the toughest bill in the world but if the DA is not going to prosecute it's meaningless.
