ABA panel urges gun limits over prison spend
Washington AP The American Bar Association criminal justice section urges shifting federal funds from a $2 billion prison build plan to strengthen gun control. The task force cites FBI data showing about half of U S murders involve handguns and calls for harsher penalties for firearm use and public handgun restrictions, while opposing expanded home restrictions. It notes prison expansion would be expensive, and advocates federal aid for states and focus on juvenile crime.
