Those parents are completely retarded.. How stupid do you have to be to take your kid to a range and put a goddamn uzi in their hands. I understand people like to share the hobby with their kids, give them some lessons using hunting rifles, etc. But what possible reason is there to put a F***ing UZI in your nine year old kid's hand?? WTF is your daughter gonna be doing with an uzi. Sure as hell can't hunt with it.. If she has to protect herself, is she gonna pull an uzi out of her purse??
Idiots..
you made some valid points, then went too far. the range has a couple uses. perfecting your aim, stance, draw etc, or to just have fun. I have shot barrets, MP5s, and a couple other fully automatic weapons at the range in addition to my personal weapons. that doesn't mean i plan on conceal carrying a .50 sniper rifle or a select fire MP5, i wanted to see what it felt like to shoot one, and have some fun.
if you want to make a point dont exaggerate to try to prove it. I agree that some better judgment should of bee used by all parties in this situation, but assuming the kid was practicing to get familiar with the UZI for an EDC weapon is a bit excessive, and points to the sensationalism surrounding guns.
