I took Rex's comment just as I would take a comment on a Darwin Award. 

As you should have. In any case, my thread title is a question, as are most sentences in English ended with a question mark, posted despite an awareness of its risk of being mischaracterized within this board of many semi-literates.

She's 5. Her holding a gun letting alone firing one is a dangerous situation.

Hey collectivists assholes parents can choose to expose their children to whatever they want.
Why? Because it is their child.
Not yours, not the communities. Perhaps if you pussies were exposed to firearms you would not have a meltdown every time a gun is in the news. Your beliefs are just that, they mean zero to another person.

Correct. Anyone saying otherwise has some serious personality issues. It was risky to allow a 9 year old to handle an Uzi, and sometimes risky behavior results in a less than intended outcome. I question their judgement, but there's nothing "deserving" about the outcome.

Define access? Our guns are locked in a safe. She does not have free access with it whenever she pleases.
I beg to differ with you on your 5yo not having access to deadly force. I'm sure you have knives in your kitchen, scissors, maybe hand tools if you're manly enough to use them. See anyone can do this. Does your kid have a bike, scooter, skateboard, ect...

Get over yourself

Sadly, I'm not surprised a few of you take joy that a 9 yr old will have to live with the knowledge that she killed someone, because of a regrettably bad decision.

Never let a tragedy go to waste, right?

Not if we can get a laugh out of it on the Darwin Awards website.

Do you never read the site? It's a hoot.

Again, why not let her drive? Can't she steer straight?

Hell her behind the wheel of a car is less deadly then her tiny figures on the trigger of something that explodes with violence and can kill you her dad in a second of inattention.

But hey, your kid your rules, until she joins the rest of in society and we have to put up with results of your irresponsible parenting.

You are the problem.

Arming kids who haven't even managed to reach double digits in age...completely irresponsible.

Thank you. I take that as a great compliment coming from someone such as yourself. To answer your question yes. She can drive the hell out of power wheels. I'm also a bad parent because she is in dance, and will be starting up in wrestling classes soon. Sorry you were born with a sandy vaj.

I am shocked such a poor parent hasn't got her in soap box derby racing as well.

Lemme guess.... You don't like those big, scary, black guns too much do you?? What a fricking tool you are. Not even worth debating you.


Not really I own 4 & unlike the instructor I have managed to surive without being shot in the head with my own weapon by a 9 year old.

I am sure this expert Range instructor would have dismissed me & my sentiments before he was shot.

While he did not 'deserve to die' I am 100% certain that the dead instructor would agree with me & prefer that he was killed than the little girl(can't say the same for the little boy who killed himself with an UZI at the Mass. gun show ).

Therefore "no good reason" to hand a 9 year old an UZI. While you think there might be 9 year olds out there who could handle them, I doubt the numbers would be more than one in a million.


According to WAFB News the Gun range agrees & immediately changed it's policy .

One must be at least 12 years old & over 5 Feet tall to fire on this range going forward . Still shady at 12 ,but at least they realize what people are saying here about kids & guns.




At worst if 9 year old girls MUST shoot UZIS(don't know why), & the gun nut parents insist ,at least have the adult control the
weapon as kid pulls trigger. Stand behind with hands over her hands totally controlling the weapon & she can boast for days/ years about how she 'shot an UZI'(wink wink) when she was 9. But now.........

My siblings & I sat in my Mother/Stepfather laps & 'drove'(at least we thought wink wink ) the car occasionally . Parents controlled accelerator/ brakes & had hands on our hands or the wheel as we creeped down a vacant street.. We boasted about how we 'drove a car' as children.

Good move on their part.

Question for everyone: Is there a special gun made that can simulate the recoil action without using live ammo? I know that blanks exist but I don't believe they produce the same recoil.

Rubber bullets maybe, the only thing I can really think of but that's still live and only "less than lethal"... and probably still isn't quite the same.
