Guns are dangerous. The younger the people holding them are, the more supervision they need. Sad deal if true.Fuck you. We're going to Costco.Comment

I hadn't heard about it until looking at FB after seeing this thread. Here's the story I saw posted:
DOLAN SPRINGS, AZ (FOX5) -
A gun instructor, who deputies said was shot Monday when a 9-year-old girl handled an automatic Uzi, died of his injuries.
Charles Vacca, 39, of Lake Havasu City, AZ, died Monday night while being treated at University Medical Center in Las Vegas, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.
The sheriff's office said the incident happened about 10 a.m. Monday at an outdoor shooting range at the Last Stop at 20606 North Highway 93 in White Hills near the Nevada-Arizona border.
According to the sheriff's office, the instructor was standing next to the girl who was handling a 9 mm automatic Uzi. Citing an investigation, the sheriff's office said the child shot once and then lost control of the Uzi, firing four more shots.
The recoil during the child's operation of the firearm sent it over her head and resulted in Vacca being struck in the head, deputies said.
The man was airlifted to UMC where he later died.
The sheriff's office said the child's parents were present at the time of the incident. A spokeswoman with Mohave County Sheriff's Office said the girl's father handled the gun first before the 9-year-old operated it.
"It's so easy for us to go back and look at something that's very tragic and say, 'Boy! Why did that occur? That should not have happened because of,'" said Mohave County Sheriff Jim McCabe. "Well, maybe from now on, that 'because of' will be in place."
The Clark County Coroner's Office was assigned to perform an autopsy.
Stay tuned to FOX5 for the latest on this developing story.

I get pretty upset when I hear about these kinds of things. Automatic weapons should only be given to adults or adolescents that can clearly demonstrate they can handle them. Uzi's are very easy to control, so I can only presume the kid had absolutely no idea what she was doing, and should never have been given the gun without some more instruction.

Yep. Looks like right at 2:08 in that video. He was standing basically forward of the muzzle of a short barreled weapon. She fired a string it recoiled to the left where he is standing. His head probably not even inches away by the time the gun came around and the round left the muzzle. Terrible but (and I hate to say this) avoidable.Originally posted by Mach1 View PostFuck you.

I can't really see it well, but it looks like a mini uzi, those are a lot harder to control (I didn't know there was a video at first). Those have a much higher cyclic rate and experience cumulative recoil, unlike a standard uzi. And also, if i'm not mistaken, that's exactly the same gun the little kid shot himself with a few years ago. Small light subgun with fast cyclic rate + child = tragedy. Give the kids a grease gun at most.
