i first saw the story two days ago, on slate. unreal. the instructor was at fault, followed closely by the poor girls parents. and it's the kid who will be the who needs therapy.
i was reading an article this morning about all the tourist places set up to shoot various weapons. that's all well and good...but who puts an uzi on full auto for a nine year old?!
i said at the time that the guy committed suicide by stupidity.
i'm just glad the kid didn't get hurt; a genius gave a nine year old boy one of these guns to shoot at a gun show, kid killed himself when he lost control of the gun.
