<." Why was the 9 year old even allowed near the range, why is is OK for the instructor to give the 9 year old a Uzi etc. etc.< These are questions for the Parents to answer.. Like... Why did her parents DRIVE HER to the gun range, and pay for her to shoot an Izu? Like I said.. You can't fix stupid. Creating laws that limit personal freedoms don't fix stupid. I mean.. It WAS on her Bucket List.. at age nine... If it is on her "Bucket List" then why would a law that says you can't participate in an activity that allows one to scratch off one of the items on their bucket list... AT AGE NINE affect the outcome of the parents poor decision making process. As CNN law enforcement analyst said: "To put an Uzi in the hands of a 9-year-old ... is extremely reckless, " CNN law enforcement analyst Tom Fuentes said. It's so reckless that you can't even fathom it.. Non-stupid parents would never consider it. Let's make a bunch of laws for stupid people, or people with Stupid Parents You must be at least 18 years of age to use an Uzi You must be at least 18 years of age to use an Atomic Bomb. You must be at least 18 years of age to jump from an Airplane without a parachute. You must be at least 18 years of age to deep sea dive without Oxygen Tanks. You must be at least 18 years of age to use a Guillotine. Then we will have to create new Government agencies to oversee implementation and compliance with these new laws.. Must be lots of others I have overlooked? Heck, I would have to question why you would take a 9 year old to Las Vegas in the first place, let alone to a gun range? Like I have said.. I don't do guns... Any guns.. Not my thing... If I live somewhere that IF I suddenly need a gun.. I will move. <I also expect my government to provide that "safe, controlled environment." < I expect my local government to provide a "safe" environment from the stupid and chronically corrupt people". Lived in the same house for 30 years.. Never locked my doors, Never had any serious issues, well, there was that time about 16 years ago, that one of the neighbors threw all of the belongings of their 19 year old daughter out the second floor windows in the middle of the night when she didn't come home I don't expect much from my Government. Government can't run itself.. Let alone my life... I don't need a Nanny, and my kids didn't either. PCSTEL
