I am very pro-gun but giving an 8 year old a machine gun to fire is beyond irresponsible both for the parent and the event organizer. Now when I was little my father may have done this with him supporting me and helping to hold/point the weapon downrange. Probable this would be considered irresponsible today, but to me that makes much more sense.

Couldn't agree more.

Would you let an eight year old operate a bandsaw by himself?

It's idiocy like this that hurts the Second Amendment cause.

It’s particularly hard to control the rise with a micro Uzi, even for an adult using the folding stock. High rate of fire, and short, giving you less leverage.

This vid starts in slo-mo. You can see the shooter having to bear down to counter the rise.
