As Uncle Ted says, "there is no such thing as an "accidental" discharge". If the gun goes off when it's not suppose to, it's a negligent discharge and it seems this instructor was the negligent person in this tragic event. As an NRA instructor, I question the motive behind allowing a 9 year old girl to fire a full auto gun. These are just the things that Bloomberg, Pelosi, Feinstein, Cuomo and the rest of the "anti's" are waiting for so they can stir the "more gun laws are needed" pot. This idiot accident hurts all of us.
NO one under 15 should be allowed to fire a full automatic. They can't handle the muzzle rise from recoil. When I instruct kids, no matter the weapon, they only get 1 bullet. You can control the first shot, but not the second after recoil.

An 8 year old boy shot and killed himself in a similar accident in 2008 with an Uzi, very sad and should be preventable.

I am all for gun rights, but some people are just stupid. There is no reason for a nine year old to be shooting an uzi.
