Get what you deserve? What kind of twisted shite is that? Why do you "deserve" to get shot for showing a 9 year old how to fire an automatic weapon? I fired my first automatic weapon probably around 12 or 13 or so but wouldn't have found it particularly odd at 9 if the opportunity arose.

9 year olds fire weapons all the time. I'd say this is a more of a tragedy than anything else but I'm also not a sick frick with an anti-gun bias.

I fired an HK5 on 3 rd burst for the first time in my 20s (with no real training, granted) and was.shocked at how unwieldy it was. I can see how it could go out of control if someone isn't used to firearms, has a small frame, and doesn't have the hard shut off of 3rounds.

Saying the guy deserved to die is pretty shitty but I do question his expertise if he thought this was safe.

I wouldn't say "get what you deserve" but it has to be pretty unsafe to put a fully automatic uzi in the hands of a 9 year old, no matter how close you are. Check out the article, her arms are like toothpicks.

I am sure you were a huge kid at 9

so I guess you could make an exception for 9 year olds with the arms of a 16 year old, but there really isn't a good reason to give a 9 year old this type of gun.

So soon someone else will die while they are exercising their right to bear arms
