It is tragic, but I'm sorry, the parent used poor judgement in even taking an 8 yr old to a gun show.

I'm trying not to imagine it yet can't help it ... kwim?


I am a believer in the right to bear arms, we own guns ... but I can't for the life of me wrap my head around guns like an uzi being owned by a private citizen.

I'm sorry - but no matter what your beliefs about the right to bear arms - Uzis and 8 years olds should never be combined!

It's generally not a problem.

If the 8 year old isn't physically capable of holding it effectively and controlling the muzzle flip, you're correct.

the accident wasn't the cause of my way of thinking ... I have to agree I don't recall hearing of this kind of accident before (uzi) ... my comments were more general in nature and not something my dh and I agree on, lol.

For what reason would you want to have an UZI? Just for show? Just so you can say you have one? A RAMBO wannna be? I mean I can see and understand hunters want rifles and a homeowner would like a hand gun for protection, but an UZI?

I personally wouldn't want an Uzi, more of an MP5 type actually.

Ohhh mark, you have a very "good" reason. Parents of this boy probably thought it would be fun too that's why their son is dead. Very
