9-year-old accidentally kills range instructor with Uzi - CNN.com

Bad enough you've got a frigging 9 year old shooting a UZI, even on single shot, but gee, lets have her fire it in full auto now!

Apparently, some people (hiding under a rock) have never heard the saying, "Kids and guns don't mix."

I guess for instance Texas must be under a BIG damn rock, the way some of my friends describe it.

lets all draw some major inferrences and conclusions out of this.... derp

this was an irresponsible range instructor who did everything wrong..... period

if you know anything about gun safety then you know he didnt follow any safe practices

it had nothing to do with the age of the person firing the weapon...... or the type of weapon.... although admittedly I cant think of a good reason this kid needed to be firing this weapon other than thrill seeking irresponsible parents

and whomever invented the saying "kids and guns don't mix" must be a total moron

there are plenty of kids who have been taught safe gun practices and are just as prepared and responsible with a firearm as any adult (police and military included)

this was an idiotic instructor (who by the way violated his own companies guidelines which say minimum age 10)

but Im sure we can use this as an example of why all guns should be banned

I don't quite understand why would parents want to teach their young kids how to use killing devices. They should be riding bikes, playing with toys or sports etc...Oh well!
