There is no such thing as an "accident" when a 9-year-old has control of a submachinegun
 
Forgive my bursting in here. I was a US Marine for a long time. I still shoot competitively (which is quite difficult when you live in India). I have fired as far as I know every single weapon approved for use by the US military, including the Uzi (which, incidentally, is not regularly assigned to anyone).

There is no such thing as an "accident" if a 9 year old was given full control of an Uzi. Period. This is not acceptable; that was not an "accident". It was negligence.. I have fired all kinds of machineguns, and SMGs like the Uzi still scare me: there is no reason for a child to handle one, period.

A 9 year old may be given control of a low-caliber rimfire rifle or low-gauge shotgun. That was what I learned on. But it is absolutely not acceptable for a gun range to declare open season with their automatic weapons.

Submachineguns are not toys. I am appalled that it takes deaths to remind us of that.

A lot of us already know the unfortunate accident (and yes, it was an ACCIDENT!) that happened at the shooting rage with this girl, and the instructor. Personally, I would have concentrated on holding the weapon, and proper foot placement (which there wasn't, and it didn't seem like the instructor was delving too deep into it) for a while before letting her fire that thing. I also would have started her on firing semi-auto for more that just one round to get her used to it. That's just me though. It's a tragic situation. Which the DUmp Monkiez absolutely to capitalize on for their own agendea furthering. Proving once again how worthless, and abhorrent they truly are.

42. Because there are Ammosexuals out there that think it's cute to do this.

Children do not know how to love or hate. They do not know what is right from what is wrong - they must have it taught to them. And there was a gun-loving crazy parent who thought it was acceptable to teach their child how to use such a powerful weapon.

I rate that up there with as acceptable as taking a child to a KKK rally or giving a child illegal drugs. Just downright stupidity on part of the parents.

But should the parents be held accountable? Hell no - the instructor was just as negligent by allowing a young child to hold such a powerful weapon.

Does that mean a child should never be allowed to hold a gun? Absolutely not! I think with the right supervision and appropriate size gun with training there is no reason why a child couldn't be taught how to hunt or at least proper safety.

I'll tell ya....for a group of people who despise sexualizing of things, and misogyny of any sort, they sure do it an awful lot.

Weaponsogynists!!!

I think that freakish ahole, Mike Malloy coined that term.  I heard him say it in a clip that Hoyt posted at DULite.

Must have missed that particular hour long cluster F. Late at night is truly when the freaks come out to play. Malloy is really the worst of them. Worse that Maddow, Steph Miller, Shultz, Matthews, Mikey Moore, and even Olberdork. He's sincerely out of his mind, and while his wife is kinda hot, she's looney tunes as well.

Listening to that man is a spectacle to behold. Unfortunately, not all spectacles are the good kind.

Ammosexuals are a protected class like transsexuals and every other *-sexuals except heterosexuals.

That instructor is nominated for a Darwin Award, and the dumbass parents aren't far behind.

The idea of a 9-year-old with a fully-automatic, short-barrelled, recoiling weapon gives me the creeps.

Those parents have given that kid a nightmare that she'll live with for the rest of her life.

Revealed: 'Devastated' father of girl, 9, who shot dead instructor in Uzi gun range horror is an investment banker
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2743422/Revealed-Devastated-father-girl-9-shot-dead-instructor-Uzi-gun-range-horror-investment-banker.html

The father whose fateful decision to allow his 9-year-old daughter try out a powerful Uzi sub-machine gun led to her killing her instructor is an investment fund manager, MailOnline can reveal.

Alex Gen MacLachlan is an Ivy League-educated banker who manages a fund worth $1.5bn. He and his wife Alison have made no public comment on the tragedy beyond to say through their lawyer that they are 'devastated' by the accident at the Arizona firing range which killed instructor Charles Vacca.

A female relative of MacLachlan living in New Jersey confirmed to MailOnline that Alex's daughter had been involved in the shooting. 'But I can't say anything about it,' she added. 'It's just terrible.'

Not a smart one if you ask me.
