QUESTION: Are there any right-wingers reading this who believe a 9 year old should be firing an Uzi under any circumstances?

That's a good age to start them out. I would be helping the kid shoot.
You can use supported stances to ensure control the weapon and things like this don't happen.

It's like I'm watching natural selection play out in real time.

Why is a 9-year-old firing an Uzi?

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/27/opinion/robbins-why-was-child-firing-uzi/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

....Should a fourth-grader be legally allowed to shoot an Uzi? The only answer to that question is: Hell fricking NO -- it should be against the law....

....This is a fully automatic machine gun developed by the Israeli army. It is capable of firing 600 to 650 bullets a minute....

....Kids can't drive until they're 16, vote, chew tobacco or smoke until they're 18, or drink until they're 21. No child should have access to firing a fully automatic weapon until the age of 18. And gun ranges should know better than to hand one to a novice shooter passing through on vacation, let alone one as young as 9....

Was it wise for the Republican-lead government of George W. Bush to not extend the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons ban before it expired in September of 2004? Another great act by Dubya The Decider--his father was the one who signed that legislation into law.

According to poster Markle, this is just another "tragic accident." And PaceDog thinks age 9 is a good age to introduce youngsters to assault weapons. I think those two ideologues responded about like we would expect. Rolling Eyes

I started shooting in NRA sponsored events when I was 10. I started shooting at a gun club when I was 5. My father and all my instructors stressed safety. My father was a stickler for gun safety at the club, and while we hunted. I never used a gun as a play thing, and always considered it to be dangerous and requiring a great deal of safe choices. Any Automatic weapon being given to somebody under 10 years of age requires extraordinary safeguards, and in my opinion the risks outweigh any possible benefit. The NRA used to a great organization which dealt with gun safety. This tragedy could have been avoided.
