While I don't agree with a trial, certainly the gun owner will be on the hook for big bucks.
But, if there MUST be someone on trial, it would be him.
The father is NOT the expert on automatic weapons, and should not be expected to recognize the explicit dangers...the expert IS.
If you took your family on a helicopter tour, and the pilot flies it into trees, are YOU at fault? Or is it the recognized expert?
One can conjure up dozens of similar scenarios...you put your trust in experts...that's what you are paying for.

Country of litigious weenies. The Dad who was being silly that day will pay the price for the rest of his life. Everybody salivating for criminal and civil trials. Makes me ill. If I recall correctly the Dad was one of the organizers if not the owner of the weapon. So civil suit is not really likely.
