jeeezzzz.. But an Uzi was not intended for 9 year olds.. Or was it????

What would you like for your 9th birthday son? A box lego or....
What are you gonna give him when he is 17??? A tank??
No beer son.. you gotta wait till you are an adult.....

Just read the article, it was a girl. But something doesn't make sense... The recoil swinged the weapon over her head, and hit the instructor behind her...
The bullet has left the barrel well before the firearm swings....

Without being close enough to control the gun in case it went out of control. I'd call that a Darwin moment.

They've been playing the video (an excerpt) on the news tonight - it's kind of freaky knowing you're watching the last few seconds of this person living, and the mishandling/recoil problem seems both sad and preventable.

I can't imagine what the girl and her parents are feeling now, and I'm sorry for the instructor and his family/friends. My thoughts to all involved.

Default Nine year old shoots and kills instructor

If this wasnt so fatal and sad it would be funny, on our news telling of this disaster when a nine year old shot her gun instructor in the head killing him... another instructor talking about the tragedy said this..... I dont know how it happened as all the instructors stand behind the shooter .... Nope nothing about WHY is a nine year old holidng a gun and being taught how to shoot.. what is wrong with these people are they simple or what.. Gun instructor accidentally shot dead by nine-year-old girl with Uzi gun - Americas - World - The Independent

Holding a gun and learning how to shoot isn't all that bad, even at 9 years old. BUT why an Uzi?? Shouldn't they be starting out with a BB gun or something? I would NEVER let a 9 year old shoot with something like that. My dad taught us all how to shoot and how to be safe with firearms when we were pretty young but certainly not with an assault rifle!
