Confiscación de armas y explosivos tras delitos graves

Explicación Simple

Si alguien comete un delito grave usando un arma, el juez puede quitarle esa arma y venderla. Si la persona no es competente, el arma también se puede quitar y vender o destruir.

Es como si un profesor decidiera quitarle a un estudiante su teléfono porque lo usó en clase para hacer trampa. El profesor puede venderlo o guardarlo, dependiendo de las reglas de la escuela.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan fue arrestado por un robo a mano armada. Después de su juicio, el juez ordena que la pistola que usó sea confiscada y vendida, porque fue un delito grave. Si Juan hubiera sido declarado incapaz de entender el juicio, la pistola también sería retirada y vendida o destruida.
