Brass knuckle ban for minors passed in Tempe

The Tempe City Council unanimously voted on Thursday night in favor of banning the sale of brass knuckles for minors. The ordinance, passed on Sept. 5, prohibits minors from possessing or buying brass knuckles, or any similar item. Similar bans have gone into effect in other east Valley communities, including in Gilbert and Chandler, after a rise in teen violence incidents.
