Gun culture and the American Gun Boner claim another victim.

Remember, only the police should have guns. That's REAL freedom, you dumb Americans!




Being an unsafe instructor sure does.


In Europe, the police don't carry firearms because it isn't necessary; very few people own guns.

^ this isn't why our police carry guns.  They carry guns because it is in our culture, and that we (for whatever reason) see it as completely reasonable for deadly force to be used against any and all kinds of skirmishes with the law.  It could have something to do with what I consider to be American bloodlust and our emphasis on punishment over rehabilitation, but it would require me a lengthy essay to sort out.  

Let's just put it this way; when taking an Amtrak to Montreal, you will be greeted by friendly, pepper-spray carrying Canadian border guards who are there to check passports and take action if anything suspicious should arise.  Coming back into America, you will be "greeted" by two automatic-carrying thugs who ask inappropriate personal questions about your trip to Canada and generally scare the living crap out of anyone they talk to.  America is just a place with something about it.

I bet everyone on this forum agrees that nine-year-olds should not have access to Uzis.  However, this does not logistically lend itself, as some here will pathetically assert, that all citizens who own a pistol for self defense should have to be part of a registry...

Politicizing a gun tragedy is just too easy.

You'd better tell that to the NRA.  They've compiled a registry of gun owners without their consent for years.

Anyone who thinks a 9-year old needs to know how to use an Uzi... should have their child taken away from them...

Alright blue and yellow avatars... 'ave at it.

Have you even read the article or any posts in this thread? She did not own the gun. It was not given to her by her parents. It was given to her by a dumbass instructor who got himself shot because of his personal stupidity. This is not something that normally happens at shooting ranges.

For the record, I generally agree. My concern, why were the parents videoing it if they didn't think it was appropriate?

An orphan is more likely to actually be in a situation where an Uzi would come in handy.

The concept of a nine year old with an Uzi (an Uzi!?!?!) is hilarious. As Oscar Wilde said of the death of Little Nell, you'd need a heart of stone not to laugh.

They don't publish it in newspapers.

Only red avatars say sensible things on this site.  Practically rule number one.

Even if her parents didn't specifically request an Uzi for her,

1. Her parents still brought her to a shooting range at age 9.
2. Her parents didn't put a stop to it when the instructor handed her the Uzi.

Perhaps there ought to be a law requiring one to be 18 to shoot an Uzi...

We have a name for laws like that. It starts with a 'c' and ends with an "-ommunism." (Kidding)
