Virginia U.S. attorney says she is ‘taking illegal guns off the streets’
By Salvador Rizzo


The latest data from the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University indicates that “weapons prosecutions” — a broad category that includes unlawful possession of a gun and crimes such as bank robberies that involve firearms — increased 15 percent in Aber’s district during her first year in office. From January to Dec. 1, authorities in the district seized 163 firearms, exceeding the 144 guns seized in 2021, according to data from the U.S. attorney’s office.
