Anonymous Coward User ID: 62479694 Lithuania 09/03/2014 07:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The 9-year-old girl from New Jersey who accidentally killed her shooting-range instructor with a mini-Uzi in Arizona last week said the gun “was too much for her,” according to a police report released today. Quoting: Hawk-02 The report released by the Mohave County Sheriff's Office said the girl fired the fatal shot after 39-year-old instructor Charles Vacca adjusted the weapon to an automatic setting. She lost control of the gun when it recoiled, and the family initially rushed to her aid, thinking she had been injured. "(The mother) said the gun went off and saw (the girl) drop the gun. (The girl) turned to her and told her the gun was too much for her and it hurt her shoulder," the report said. The family failed to realize that Vacca had been shot until another instructor, who had noticed that he had fallen and was bleeding from the head, rushed toward him, according to the report. The family acknowledged the firestorm in its statement, asking for compassion even as “certain people…seek to use this tragedy for their own partisan purposes and agendas”.

We taught our girls how to shoot, and shoot very well indeed with every firearm in the house at that age. They are ALL excellent shots to this day, and all love to hunt and shoot.

And now his family will suffer in ways imaginable, since they will be looked on with scorn for this guy's stupidity, then they will be SUED to kingdom come and SUE in return, thereby destroying the lives and future of the little girl's family in the process. Actions have consequences. |

User ID: 1149868 Germany 09/03/2014 08:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

Okay, maybe you just want your child to become good at something very specific and she wasn't pretty enough for modeling.. Either way you're probably an ass for letting this happen. Let your child organically experience UZI. Don't force feed them that BS |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6544774 United States 09/03/2014 08:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is only one solution to this heart breaking tragedy. Ban automatic weapons. We need to get rid of them now so no more 9 year olds accidently waste somebody... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56527468 ... this is a joke. Banning automatic weapons is completely unnecessary given that the regulations that already exist have relegated them to hideously expensive toys of the wealthy or for rental ranges such as the one involved here. If there's a legislative solution, it would be to regulate the ages of users of automatic weapons at rental ranges. |
