"Child firing Uzi at Ariz. shooting range accidentally kills instructor" LIKE WHAT?!?!?!?! by Harrison Epstein 4th period
Link- http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/26/us/arizona-girl-fatal-shooting-accident/index.html?hpt=us_c1
So at a Massachusetts gun range a young 9 year old girl was (for some strange reason) being taught to shoot an Uzi, a type of sub machine gun. She couldn't handle the recoil of the shot and ended up firing on her shooting instructor and putting a bullet in his head. Unlike in movies a sub machine gun cannot be fired continuously without some serious strength and training. Not to mention the fact the this gun was a 9mm, Israeli made gun designed to kill. No charges have been filed but the girl is seriously traumatized and will likely begin therapy soon. This has brought up questions of age requirement for shooting a gun of that caliber. Also some gun regulation activists are up in arms because of this incident.
This is a tragic incident and, frankly, absolutely ridiculous. The fact that a 9 year old girl was even allowed on a shooting range, let alone shooting a gun, is unbelievable. This happened just 2 days ago!!!!! This article makes me really wonder about who is even paying attention to gun laws anymore. I's all for "the right to bear arms" but a 9 year old shooting a powerful war machine is pushing it just a bit! Guns have been a hot button topic since the Sandy Hook shooting not to long ago which rocked the American population. This article is a really horrifying look into modern gun control and parenting. The parents ALLOWED their daughter to be part of this, and now she has a curse put on her for the rest of her life that will always haunt her as the little girl that killed a man with a war machine. Honestly this whole thing is sickening.
