Firing-range instructor hands
9-year-old an Uzi. Now he’s dead

By Gail Sullivan
The Washington Post

A 9-year-old girl at a shooting range outside Las Vegas accidentally killed an instructor on Monday morning when she lost control of the Uzi he was showing her how to use.

A partial video of the incident — which does not show the instructor being shot — shows a slender young girl in a ponytail and pink shorts beside a man clad in camouflage pants, a black t-shirt and sunglasses. “Allriiight!” he says, congratulating her after she fires the gun in single-shot mode. “All right, full auto!” he says. Then comes a spray of bullets and a child’s scream before the video cuts off.

The girl, whose name wasn’t released, visited the outdoor shooting range while vacationing with her parents. She’d fired the 9mm weapon, designed for use by the Israeli defense forces in the 1940s, several times in single-shot mode. But when it was set to fully automatic the weapon recoiled and she lost control.

“The guy just dropped,” Mohave County Sheriff Jim McCabe told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Her parents should have been standing beside the instructor.

Here's something really nuts. In Texas a 6 year old child can fire a gun at a range!!!!

No sir, that is not nuts. With proper supervision it is a great thing.

Islamo fascists teach their kids to kill infidels, we should teach our kids to kill them right back.
