That depends. In the US, persons that have been convicted of a felony (serious crime such as murder, robbery, rape, grand larceny) loss their right to possess a firearm. In the case of a juvenile, tried as an adult, the same law applies. If a juvenile is tried as a juvenile, and is found "not innocent" of a crime that would be a felony for an adult, then they are also prohibited from possessing a firearm.
Example- 15 year old commits an armed robbery, is arrested, tried as a juvenile, is found "not innocent" of armed robbery= now prohibited from possessing any firearm. The same 15 year old is arrested for shoplifting a $15 CD, and is found "not innocent" of petty theft MAY possess a firearm once they become an adult,
