Arizona shooting range accident
Hello! I'm surprised to see that there's no thread on the Arizona shooting range accident. Basically, a 9-year-old girl lost control of her Uzi submachine gun and accidentally shot her instructor.
Is there any restriction on these topics? I can imagine that guns must be a rather sensitive topic around here, so please feel free to close the thread if appropriate.

I mentioned it in another thread. Anyone familiar with weapons regardless of their attitude on gun control is pretty much in agreement this was a really bad idea.

Another crazy shooting. I hope one day the US comes to its senses.
In what country is an 8 year old shooting a machine gun at a place called Bullet and Burger a reasonable activity?
I have said it on threads about school shootings on here before, but the USA must come to there senses one day, surelyI still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

9 year old learning how to shoot a Uzi? Why? Unless she was a terrorist in training or a kidnapped by warlords in Africa and forced to be part of militia - I do not see why any 9 year old ever has to get closer to any gun, let alone a sub-machine gun.

Based on the above, a 9 year old shouldn't be in a car either, but we do it every day. Chances are the car will be much more deadly than the guns. But that never stopped anyone from bashing the US policy that ensures us the right to be stupid if we choose.
And don't get me wrong, there were obvious flaws in what took place. The instructor was the one killed, yet should have been the one ensuring safety. Though I'm not happy anyone was killed, only fitting that it was the person that failed to properly perform their job.

I agree.
Guns have there place, but In my opinion it is not even in the hands of common people, let alone a 9 year old.
I agree with our laws in the UK, we have one of the lowest gun death rates in the world I believe.
I also never stated it was the guns fault. Its the country that lets people buy and own guns so easy thats the problem.
I admire the US in a lot of ways, but the laws on guns are crazyI still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Extensive highlights programme filmed by local tv (Deportes TV Canaria). Good quality action and some unique overlays of drivers lines in corners: https://youtu.be/lC8VIPbhQTY?si=JsIYpjdOHsKcnU2o
