Over to the local gun range and turn her loose with an Uzi sub-machine gun...

Anti-gun folks on the PT came in their progressive pantelones over this story.

I'm not anti-gun. I am anti-dumbass parent that let their 9 year old use an Uzi.

I'm really surprised the instructor (RIP) allowed it as well.

As am I.

Both of my parents were Military Police, and I shot my first pistol when I was 5. Never allowed to hold it by myself, but it was obviously a blast.
I worked at a Class III range/arms dealership in Georgia afterwards and we had weapons like this and we would never, ever allow children to use them.
There are holes in the ceiling there from grown men not being able to handle the Thompson, I can't imagine why someone would think it a good idea to give the Uzi a try.

If you are are going to let her shoot it then leave it on semi-auto and sit down and shoot and this is coming from a huge pro-gun person.

I'm more anti-safety instructor that lets a 9 year old girl go free reign with an uzi

Because they didn't do the bolded.

I received my first .22 (single shot) when I was 8, after several years of proving to my father that I respected weapons enough with my BB gun. I was given my 12 gauge at Christmas when I was 12, again, after proving to my father I was capable of properly handling the weapon.
I am 100% in favor of RESPONSIBLE gun ownership, but shite like this ridiculous. Who in their right fricking mind thinks "Hey, I bet my 9 year old child would handle this automatic weapon like a champ!" Or, "Yeah, this 9 year old with the retarded parents can handle an Uzi, I'll give her some pro-tips!"

Really, the only one I feel for is that 9 year old girl. I imagine that shite can mess her up pretty bad.

And I hate the instructor died, but why are they thinking it's okay to train a 9 year old on an Uzi. Fail all the way around.

You take some one with basically no training (or upper body strength) and put a fully automatic weapon in their hands that requires more control and arm strength than most... Dumbass. It's like people that ride a motor bike or four wheeler the first time and press the gas a little too much... what do a lot of them do? Press it harder to hold on tight.

Yeah sure, let an 9 year old girl play with an uzi...what could possibly go wrong 
Feel awful for the girl. And the instructor and his family. That gun range will be shelling out some money to both families to smooth all this over.

I bought my son his first BB gun at age 7. When he is 10, he will get either a .22 or a 410 shotgun. Would not let him shoot an Uzi right now or when he is 10,

This was at a place that's supposed to be a "cool" gun range, near vegas. Which is/was the problem. They should have been more strict with policy and training. After only one shot, the instructor switched to full auto. A 9 year old could have fired safely on her own or with an instructor in a given situation, but this was not

This is so crazy. Why does a 9 year kid need to be by guns. Just because parents are gun nuts this i sick

Nobody disagreed with the premise of my topic, but I gathered in 3 down votes?

There's the old school gun crowd, really the majority of gun owners, that just want to responsibly own firearms of whatever sort for hunting, target shooting or collecting purposes and be left alone about it.
Then there's the vocal minority that want to own an arsenal of military weapons because "ma conshitushounal rites!". These are the same clowns that open carry assault rifles in restaurants and let their 9 year old daughters fire Uzis. They give the first group a bad name.
shite annoys me.
