A man has been sentenced to prison for supplying guns to juveniles in Tampa. The U. S. Attorney’s Office of the Middle District of Florida says on eight occasions, Gabriel Gladman, 23, made false statements to licensed firearms dealers to buy guns. "And on six of those, we were able to charge him with transferring those firearms to juveniles," U.
S. Attorney Roger Handberg said. In some cases, the U. S. Attorney’s Office says the juveniles used those guns to commit violent crimes in Tampa.
Advocates who work to combat gun violence in Hillsborough County say the straw purchasing of guns for kids is a serious issue.
