(39,961 posts)an Uzi on full auto. An 8 year old last year killed himself accidentally because on got away from him.
A 9 year old doesn't need to be firing a .50 cal Barrett, either, or a 12 gauge shotgun. Why? Physics. They will injure themselves with it because they can't handle the recoil.
I have absolutely no idea what your point is, but if you are trying to say that an Uzi on full auto is the equivalent of a 9 year old holding a small caliber weapon, I'm pretty sure there is a difference, hence the full auto Uzi getting away from her and killing her instructor.
That would not have happened had anyone, including the parents, had a grain of sense and recognized that you don't put FULL AUTO weapons in the hands of 9 year olds. It's the difference between letting a 9 year old drive a go-cart under controlled conditions and letting a 9 year old loose in high performance race car.
