National How many DGU by kids in the past 10 years?

I didn't explore the links, but we all know there are many DGU's that never make the news. Maybe some day we can turn this place back into America.

There has been a lot of talk in various threads about kids with access to firearms. In my opinion it depends on the kids and the parents and should not be mandated by the State. Some of us were just fine having access to our own firearms as young as 11, and there are some 22 year-olds that I would not trust with any gun.

One thought on the matter crossed my mind this weekend and set me Googling. How many defensive gun uses by teens would have resulted in a negative outcome if the kids did not have access to a firearm? Since local newspapers and television stations delete older stories, I set my search for 10 years back. While I found over 30, as I feared, some of the online articles were deleted. For example I found none for 2013. While IP44 only deals with minors, because the recent outcry to prohibit all "kids" under 21 from owning any firearm I did include an 18 year old widowed mother, a 19 year old and a 20 year old college student who was given a revolver by her dad.

So here they are along with their approximate reporting dates

I fear the democrat swamp is too deep for that utopian dream, and the lemmings keep voting them in power and as long as the lefties refuse to face reality and cling to their indoctrination values it will remain the status quo
