Very tragic, and confusing.

While indeed tragic, I strongly disagree about proscuting the parents.

Nothing I read in the article or on the C.O.P. website indicated that it was a NRA sanctioned event or that the instructors were NRA personnel.

Part of the report stated that the father was helping "support" his son so he could fire the Uzi, and while should have been an indicator that his son wasn't physically up to it it doesn't really clarify what actually happened.

jjcruise3,


I think you and I probably agree on the whole right to bear arms thing, but I wanted to say that something about using this tragedy to promote a political stance just seems a bit raw.


I get it, I think there's much truth to what you said, but I also can't be so hateful towards those who love their guns as to take any satisfaction that this proved the point of those of us who support gun control.


I don't mean to say that I think you're happy this happened, but it just feels to close to home to use it politically, KWIM?
