trying to make is that your child survived all right after using a chainsaw; therefore, a child firing an Uzi is a similarly dangerous activity. Do I have that right?
Well, riding a horse is dangerous and children are taught at a young age to do that. Skiing is dangerous, too,, and kids are taught to ski at a young age. Heck, crossing the wide, busy streets like in the Los Angeles area is dangerous, too. You hear all the time about young children run over in the crosswalks. Planes crash, cars crash. There was a kid who fell and broke his neck in Coronado CA from what looked to be his attempt to swing from a chandelier in his own home, but he fell to the floor below to his ultimate death.
All horrible things. 
I still think that this is more about parents wanting to brag about their child firing an Uzi. Uzi's are what -- about 12 thousand? How cool is that to brag to your adult friends about -- your child shot a status symbol gun. How much gratification does your ego need. But it turns out their outing was more about stupidity and pure negligence with someone being shot in the head. That was not an "accident," per se. That was pure negligence. The grown-ups were trying to show off and a fatal error in judgment occurred which = stupidity.
BTW, I would not have my child at that age use a chainsaw, but that's just me.
