Breaking news, real shocker... even the nine year-old girl figures out in hindsight what gun nuts were/are still too stupid to understand: she had no business messing around with that kind of a tool, supervised or not.
Accidents do happen but that is no argument to ban guns. In fact, this accident is evidence enough that we need more people who own guns so they learn how to handle it. Gun-ownership is a human right and it is a right given by God and founding fathers.

It's not a stretch. She said it was too much for her.
You need to stretch a bit more to figure out that there are certain activities and tools in life that are simply not safe or suitable for small children, a concept that clearly is foreign to you.

No one is suggesting anyone "ban guns."
We are suggesting that little kids should not be allowed to operate an automatic weapon any more than they would be allowed to operate a car, a Harley, a chainsaw, or a case of dynamite and zippo lighter. We are suggesting the shocking concept that people actually be old and mature enough to handle a lethal device that requires significant responsibility and body control to safely operate.
But even this is still too much to grasp for the die-hard conservative contingent, which does not let the safety of their kids and those around them get in the way of their unconditional zeal for all things guns.

Didn't realize a law is needed for every time someone doesn't have common sense.
Pretty soon everything will be made illegal because of the swaths of idiots that live amoung is.

Pretty much!
Defining the difference between those activities that need to be regulated in some fashion is going to become more and more difficult as evidenced by the silliness on here.
Some cannot seem to understand that a 'one size fits all' approach to something dangerous and tying it to a document written over 200 years ago before automatic weapons were even thought of is just plain nuts.
The founding fathers and 2nd amendment shouldn't even enter the equation with much the same approach being taken towards gun handling as driving a car, a minimum age should be mandatory BUT just as living on the farm negates to some extent the help of a younger child driving a tractor, combine or grain truck with the proper training, so too should this aspect of firearm exposure have some leeway.
Taking of a kiddie to a range for the express purpose of firing an UZI by parents who mayhaps don't know from which end the slug exits, should be regulated, as adults charged with the responsibility to determine the experiences their child be exposed to because they are minors should be determined by others if they themselves have no freak'n idea of what constitutes a hazardous behaviour on the part of so-called experts.
The firearms regs. are only going to be impacted negatively by any happenstance like this due to people pushing the envelope of common sense way out there.
