Preventable loss of life had just one person used commonsense. This little girls life will never be the same due to a dumb decision by the parents and the instructor.
Something just like this happened last year too!
Agree, if only one adult had shown some common sense a tragic accident would have been avoided.
Prayers to all involved.
senseless in all regards. one dead, one traumatized for life, and another blemish on gun owners and enthusiasts
I taught my daughter to shoot when she was 9. It was with a single shot .22 rifle, and I sat at the bench with her and handed her each bullet one at a time.
"Like I always say, the 2nd Amendment, the provision that gives every American the right to keep and bear arms, is blind and stupid. In its relentless pimping for the gun industry, the NRA has unleashed an avalanche of deadly weapons on this gun-crazy country. Just as protects access to weapons for cops and hunters, it also protects access to weapons for domestic abusers, mental patients, jerk-offs on the no-fly list, all-around dim bulbs, and now little children.
As the father of a sweet, smart nine year old daughter myself, the latest example of gross excess is the image of that pony-tailed New Jersey girl accidentally killing her gun range instructor. It is obscene and uncivilized to let a third grader shoot a fully automatic Uzi machine gun. What was she training for, revolution? Invasion? Service in the coming post-apocalyptic social disorder? Stupid, but just another of countless examples of how far into insanity we have let the gun nuts push us."
