This is a tough one.
Stoopid “instructor”.....Darwin opines the survival of the fittest...physical, and mental....jus’ sayin’...
Several years ago an adult was killed by his own rifle, an SKS. Stored with the hammer not cocked, the firing pin rusted tight to the bolt.
When he loaded the rifle and released the bolt, the rifle slam fired all ten rounds, the recoil made him lose control and the rifle recoil flipped the rifle back and killed the shooter.
The child did not kill that guy. The instructor caused the gun to go out of control. The girl just did what she was told to do by the instructor.
He should have been holding the weapon with her. Even some adults can’t handle these types of firearms.
Its a shame. The left will use it to push their agenda.
guess that FB post didn’t work out. Sorry to be flippant, but I have to think it was more about the ‘adults’ than the 9 yo that will have to live with this.
I heard from an idiot friend “She murdered him”.
Pathetic
Tho, I did tell him:
“You know, there’s a difference between losing yourself to your wife and losing yourself in her”...
Subtle difference but, it’s there.
A trained Certified NRA Instructors are trained in What form of training or certafication did this person ??
Development Learning is part of Firearms Training.
Uzi, full auto, standing, for a 9 year old that’s small and that might have never shot before... not the best decisions if one considers risks and mitigation of them. Still feel sorry for the instructor though.
When I read stories like this, I have to assume that people like this instructor were on some level ready to die. He was lucky to have died doing something he loved and in a place that made him happy.
Meanwhile, how many people died today in wrecks, drownings, falls and the like?
Accidents happen. Get over it.
Uzis do not have clips, that have magazines. Most of CNN's experts are ignorant of firearms and safety.The instructor should have controlled the muzzle.
