[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2602997, member: 19286"] You know, there is a growing fascination with filming youngsters firing guns. Especially young women/girls. I suspect that it has more to do with Dad's pride/ego than it does with responsible firearm training and/or gaining firearm experience. There was probably a proud Dad behind the camera or off to one side that was just glowing (for a while). (If these assumptions are incorrect, I apologize.) Now, I'm not faulting firearms training for youngsters. I was trained early and grew up around firearms. But, putting a full-auto Uzi in the hands of a 9 year old girl for a great Facebook moment is just a terrible idea. Had it turned out fine, I still would have considered this to be a terrible idea. Shame on the parents that put their young daughter in this situation. I feel sorrow for this dead man's family and friends. For those of you who might be asked to participate in a stunt like this, consider giving the youngster some training time on a .22 rifle instead. Everyone will leave the range happy. [/QUOTE]
