Person accidentally shoots himself with Uzi

[Mermaidman]

I think it's ridiculous that the boy was allowed to fire the gun, regardless of supervision.

Can we hang the idiot who let an eight year old handle a loaded, automatic weapon?

Damn. There's a big difference in supervision and proper supervision.

Why the son? He was only 8, not capable of any thinking except, "cool! i get to shoot a big gun."

the USA.

I wonder if outwardly exposing kids to these things is really safer than having them randomly find them at home. Total #s... which death toll is higher?

Class 3 firearms (full automatic and silenced) are perfectly legal in the USA if you meet the ownership requirements and have the correct tax stamps.

That's why I was asking. He was the one that killed himself. But then there are the idiot, fucktard gun nuts who think it is fine and dandy to five an 8 y.o. an uzi to consider.

From the article, the kid "was shooting the weapon down range when the force of the weapon made it travel up and back toward his head . . . " It sounds like automatic. Come to think of it, more people could've been hurt.

Ownership is one thing, allowing someone who doesn't have those papers fire it is another no?

I'm pretty sure as long as you have permission from the owner (and not a felon I assume), you can fire one.

The son. The father is still in the gene pool and might even have another kid for the sole purpose of replacing this one.

Does that make the gun owner liable? I would think that is the case.

Freak accident... many more kids die because of multiple other things (pencils, knives, treadmill, bathtub, baseball, cheer leading etc.). However, when it involves a firearm, its always front page.. the media is so anti-firearms...

I wouldn't think so. If someone borrows your bicycle and gets killed, are you liable?

You don't think this is a bit different?

The one with the most money is usually the one that's liable.

Not really. Property is property.

Or if you knowingly lend your car to an unlicensed person, who then gets hurt or hurts someone else . . .

But you don't have to have a license to shoot a gun.
