    You do know how reasonable doubt works, right?

    Yes, some guilty parties go free, just as some of the innocents are convicted. That's how the system works, unfortunately.

      Slippery slope and all that...

        Would it hurt to pass common sense laws that make it illegal for a minor to handle an automatic weapon, even with parental consent?

        Go ahead and argue that one.
        It's likely already covered under negligence of some sort or another. Who would give that kid a fully automatic weapon and consider that a smart move? The gun range's owner likely wants to side with the customer because he's somewhat obligated to do that - he owns the bldg in which the instructor was killed, he has his own legal concerns in this. While I've never had much to do with guns (fired a pistol once, no rifles or shotguns), I know a lot of people who were introduced to small caliber rifles and small gauge shotguns, but never something like an Uzi. It's very likely some sort of negligent homocide charge could come from this for the parent and possibly the gun range's owner for not having good policy in place surrounding young children and automatic weapons.

          LOL. It'll be a cold day in hell before charges are filed in Arizona for what happened.

            It's why they are anti-abortion while having a high rate of abortions. "We must repeal this law because we can't stop ourselves from having abortions!!!! When there's a law we can't exercise free will!!!"

                On the flip side, 9 year olds should be allowed to drive cars. And drink. And fcuk.

                Let's get rid of these bothersome laws!

                  My kid couldn't handle an air soft gun(broke a computer monitor) No way am I letting any kid fire an Uzi, I don't need a law to be smart enough to understand that. I think you'll find adults who have had the same thing happen when firing an automatic weapon, the recoil takes the gun over their heads and they end up spraying bullets everywhere.

                    So if I'm confident as a parent that my 9 year old can drive a car, it should be okay? At least in the eyes of the law?


                    Pretty stupid case you're making... don't you think?

                        Exactly.

                        You have to be a moron to hand a 9 year old kid a loaded Uzi. Sounds like plenty of morons were involved.

                        But while they're at it, they should probably pass a law that forbids 3 year olds from flying a plane. We need to prohibit 6 year olds from attempting to swim the Pacific. And don't forget to ban the 5 year olds from walking across the Mojave Desert. The sheer volume of stupidity, and stupid stunts attempted, in this world will never cease to amaze me.
                        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            This is a gun range. Very easy, smart, targeted law could be passed that would cover it very easily. No grand swoop. No slippery slope.
