Instant Darwin Award.

9 year old child + full auto = what could go wrong?

Last mistake he made.


Poor girl. Stupid instructor. Stupid parents?

I don't get ever letting a young child try to fire at full auto.  It is hard for adults to control, so why even bother with kids...

To bad she couldn't have been at a politcal rally when this accident happened.</p>

What a way to be a part of the vigilantes..... Let an 8 yr old participate. *sigh*

Teach a kid to shoot and gun safety with a pellet gun. Then, when older switch to a .22lr (rimfire).</p>

Vigilantes?</p>

Children should not be judged by age, but by ability.  Apparently neither the child, nor the instructor had any.</p>


 </p>


I have no issues with children firing real guns, even fully-automatic.  HOWEVER, don't just hand someone a fully automatic weapon with it being one of their first times at a range handling a weapon.  Sheer ignorance.</p>


 </p>


I have fired a handful of automatic weapons, but never the UZI.  Some were easily controlled on full-auto mode, while others were simply accidents waiting to happen (and did happen, although luckily not resulting in major injury).</p>


 </p>


If you have to teach the girl grip and stance, she is clearly not ready to go 'full-auto' with anything.  Dumbass people.  Also, I'm sure this girl is going to punish herself for the rest of her life for something she never dreamed would happen.</p>


 </p>


Edit: Sorry, forgot to answer your original question Maj.  Yes, I believe stupid parents.  Parents should know the mindset and capabilities of their children when attempting to do anything, let alone something as potentially life-altering as this.</p>

The people in Arizona that will shoot on-sight if they spot illegal immigrants from crossing the border... I forget what they're called... </p>

Crossing the border illegally should be considered an act of war.  Shooting should be authorized.</p>


 </p>


That would stop it real quick.</p>


 </p>


Actually... I'm all for immigration.  A lot of these people live in places worse than hell.  Just do it legally.</p>


 </p>


That being said... the U.S. should also make it easier for people to come into the country, LEGALLY.</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Although I would like to thank the current illegal immigrants (of whom I can do nothing about) for all of their hard work emptying trashcans and scrubbing toilets with the highest proficiency.</p>


 </p>


I know in their world there are no such things as trashcans and toilets.  A whole new world... just like Aladdin for them.</p>

 

[Variable]

Yeah, you need to talk to somebody.

Purple bro.

I believe you can only consider it an act of war if Mexico itself sanctioned the border crossing. Other than that, your idea sounds very cold war German-like.</p>

Having helped someone immigrate to the US legally, I do have to say that the Rio Grande Express looked very very promising at points in the immigration process.</p>

Yes USA immigration policy is a joke. Needs to be revamped.


Like I said. .. I have nothing against people coming here from anywhere in the world. As long as they are praying taxes just like I am.
