Nine-year-old girl accidentally shot her gun instructor dead with an Uzi

Most folks with common sense will agree with you because you say so? Or because they agree with you they have common sense? Or most like you want the government regulating every activity. Until it comes to MP's, and then you blame the religious right?

It doesn't matter where the parents were, the instructor should have had his hand atop the gun to see if she could handle automatic mode.

Try saying some of your own thought and provide rationale rather than just blathering 'most people think like me.' Originally Posted by JohnnyCap

All permitted by moronic Red State, gun crazed demented logic, that allows this type gun lunacy to exist in the first place.....

State lawmakers who allow 9 year old children to fire machine guns are not playing with a full deck!!!.....

are you ok with NYS age for hunting. 12 small game 15 or was it 16 large game?

Let me think on that one for a second...



Like encouraging a culture that would allow for laws whereby a 9 year old girl can get her hands on an Uzi?



Oh come on, 9 year old girls have 2nd amendment rights too. Originally Posted by Doove

I had a bb gun at seven. I was shooting turtle heads at distance from six on with single shot .22s.

Kids shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel of a car at 9 years old, nor should they be able to go out to bars at 9 years of age getting shit-faced. Government regulation preventing a 9 year old from handling an Uzi is no less justifiable.

By the way, i believe it's 6 years of age in Texas. No surprise there.

And obviously, relying on the parents and instructor to make the right decision didn't work out so well, now did it? So i'm not really sure what your argument is here.

Should a 9 year old be allowed to handle an Uzi or not?

If the parental units thinckthe child can handle it ... yes.

Personally, I thinck the results of the incident worked out well. One less not-qualified-to-be-an-instructor out of the equation. Its a win.

Gotta luv that moronic Red State, gun crazed demented thinking, that allows this type lunacy to exist in the first place.....
Seems like too many folks in AZ been sniffing too much gunpowder fumes for too long!!!.... Originally Posted by Celso

Given that they let her try it, I'm guessing the parents thought the girl could handle it.

Worked well.

The death penalty for being an unqualified gun instructor.

And i'm the fucktard?

Decisions have consequences.

And yes you are a fucktard.

In general we're too hung up in age. There's plenty of 30 year olds that can't drive, shoot, drink or vote. I shouldn't be allowed to drink. Celso shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard...especially if smilies are available.

The person who fucked up is dead. Sort of justice, although it is a bad situation. I hope the girl can clear her head of his mistake.

Age has nothing to do with this, it is an issue of capability. The guy didn't keep his hand on the gun to assist her and he paid the price. To answer OSD, I would not put an age number on it, it is a question of what the kid can handle supervised, until they demonstrate capability to go unsupervised. This 9 year didn't get her hands on an Uzi, the Uzi was placed in her hands.

Arizona has nothing to do with it. The parents the OP wants to blame were vacationing. I love a state that allows the freedom for this to happen, though I would rather it didn't. Originally Posted by JohnnyCap

9 years old lol

how old should someone be to drink alchohol?

nine years old??

how about driving a car?

start at six??

maybe age is just a number, but you have to start somewhere, you need to have rules and regulations.

So again what age should one start drinking alcohol? or drive?

we know damn well jc you shouldn't be driving, lol

Hell, if the incident happened in NY the little girl would be put to the grand jury and probably indicted.
