The proposal would require that any child who commits a felony or violent crime using a deadly weapon, firearm, or stolen gun be tried in the adult circuit court instead of the youth court. It also raises penalties for possessing, selling, or transferring stolen firearms and creates a new crime for shooting into a group of two or more people. The measure did not pass and died in committee.
