WASHINGTON - King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg announced a renewed effort aimed at increasing sentence ranges for juveniles who illegally possess firearms. The proposal has gained the support of gun rights advocates and Washington Ceasefire. In a news conference, Satterberg was joined by gun rights advocate Dave Workman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms and Ralph Fascitelli of Washington Ceasefire, who support reforming juvenile gun laws. Satterberg stated in a press release he will take this measure to the Washington State Legislators and ask them to introduce a bill in the 2013 legislative session. It currently takes five convictions of unlawful possession of a firearm second degree before a juvenile is sent to the Department of Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration (JRA), where the youth will serve a sentence of 15 weeks. The proposal unveiled today would call for a mandatory 10-day sentence upon the first conviction, and a 15-week sentence upon the second conviction. Read More. |
