9 year old girl kills instructor accidentally with UZI

The decision making is poor. Gun rights are not the issue and shouldn't be the issue. The events you gave are good examples. Turning this discussion from guns should not be allowed in the hands of the American citizenry would be like saying the solution to the levees is not have cities near the water.

You are exactly right Blue_State. Even though we will have disagreements about gun rights in itself, I can't pin this on gun rights. This is just 100% bad decision making all around in which both parties being the parents and the instructor ignored fire arm safety.
 
I agree. The parents thought it would be probably be funny to have the video. Something they can share to their in-law cousins while sipping Moonshine from mason jars while sitting in their single wide.

I'm pretty sure that they were from New Jersey.
 
The parents were responsible for allowing it but he was responsible for not doing his job properly. He didnt have to refuse, if he had retained control of the weapon, he'd still be alive. He made a mistake and it could have cost other people their lives too.

Making mistakes is human...sometimes justifiable, sometimes not....but since many activities are inherently dangerous AND we are dependent on the fallibility of other humans, accidents happen.

I have to agree, he was responsible for his own actions and untimely death.

The parents are responsible for allowing the event to take place, we have no idea what they told the instructor about their daughters previous experience or if she had any at all. The parents had to sign some sort of consent form with the Range when they paid for the instructor services, which would be nice to see what kind of questions were asked on it. Very little information has been released about the Range and their responsibilities to protect the customers and other people in the area.
