(15,805 posts)As I've already mentioned, the statistical data is extremely small -- much like finding a Supreme Court Justice who died in the last year of a President's term in office -- so it should come as no surprize that day hasn't come... yet.

As to your assertion that college age boys are responsible, mature, law abiding citizens... um, no. Strangely, women's brain mature earlier, but boya, not so much. Seriously, no one would let a child have a gun because they are immature and too easily influenced, and lack the complex decision making skills that come with experience and maturity. Now, there are numerous clinical studies that document the brain's development, like this one:
"These days, a consensus of neuroscientists agree that brain development likely persists until at least the mid-20s possibly until the 30s."
