    Darwin award

    Giving a 9 year old girl a fully automatic weapon should meet the stupidity level required for a Darwin Award nomination - and unfortunately he has now satisfied the other criteria.

    Girl, 9, accidentally kills shooting instructor when sub machine gun recoils in her hands - Mirror Online

    Feel sorry for the girl though - probably pushed into it through peer pressure - and now has to live with having killed someone.

    She's probably now had all the gun lessons she needs.

      Shocking moment girl aged 9 kills shooting instructor during lesson with an Uzi submachine gun - Mirror Online

      The range is popular with tourists and advertises “Burgers and Bullets” day. This includes lunch and a choice of more than 20 automatic weapons to shoot with.
      Shooting automatic weapons isn't a ****ing kids' party game.

        So too anyone else who has seen the report.

        They should have showed the whole video on news reports so no one was left in any doubt of the stupidity!

          How screwed are the US with regards to gun control when it's the norm for a 9 year old to be taking shooting lessons as a recreational activity?

            If only she'd been properly instructed in the use of an Uzi Sub Machine Gun at aged 8, this tragedy would never have happened.
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              It's based on a very flawed misunderstanding of the second amendment. Even Richard Nixon's attorney general (I forget the name) said that the gun lobby was absolutely wrong, and given he was one of the most right wing AGs in American history.

              The Bush government made it even worse, and made it law that retailers had to destroy the records of people buying guns after a short time period, because it infringed their rights.

              I remember someone near where I lived buying an M16 and shooting a few people at the shopping mall. The security check involved them having to tick a box that said "are you (or have you ever been) diagnosed as mentally unstable?". Because they left it blank, they were allowed to buy the gun and go a-killin'.

                  The gun lobby would argue that guns don't kill people, sweet little 9-year-old girls kill people.

                    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
