Rachael Maskell, Labour MP for York Central, speaks on gun licences for under 18 s. MORE than 100 children in North Yorkshire are authorised to use guns, figures show. The youngest gun licence holders included six children under the age of 13 with legal access to a shotgun. The data, published by the Home Office, shows 117 youngsters aged between 14 and 17 hold a shotgun certificate while 15 others of the same age group have firearm certificates. The data does not cover air guns. It comes amid separate calls from York Central MP Rachael Maskell and The Gun Control Network for robust and stricter laws around gun ownership in the UK.
