Fallout from the recent accident involving an NFA weapon.

[FIVETWOSEVEN]

First off I don't believe anyone should be able to fire a weapon that is full auto unless they are over 18, I think the ban unless 21 is a little extreme. Second off, I am still amazed someone would let an 8 year old fire a F/A Uzi.

I know a few kids that have fired a automatic weapon that were younger than 13. The first gun I fired at like age 4 was a full auto M60. I do agree though that you should be able to fire full autos under 21 consider both the military has kids at 17 firing full autos and you can actually own a full auto under 21 if you actually have the money and a private transfer is possible. This isn't a legal issue considering how many kids fire full auto without a problem, this is actually the only time I've heard of a kid being killed by a full auto, THIS IS A COMMON SENSE ISSUE.

It can go through walls, doors, homes so to antis thats the most dangerous thing ever created.

Its a tragedy, what was supposed to be a fun outing ends in disaster -- same as any summer time swimming accident. You want to ban water? Happening by default around here

DeathByCactus: Who are you to tell people what they may allow their kids to do? What if your friend had a gay son? Would you insist that the son wasn't allowed to be gay until he was eighteen?

What if the kid lost control of the weapon and killed numerous bystanders instead of just himself?

Somebody else's gay son is their business.
Allowing untrained & unqualified people to operate FA weapons in my presence becomes mine.

Thousands of kids every year fire full autos without a problem, then one kids does it with a submachine gun that was way too much recoil for a child to handle especially at age 8. This was whoever owns the gun's fault or whoever was supervising that gun. It was his judgment error.

Until someone loses a child they have no understanding of the pain and suffering the family goes through. Stupid unsupervised mistake but I would imagine the father would like to crawl into a hole and die.

5 gallon buckets kill more kids than automatic weapons. Ban those too...

Well since this happened 3 years ago and NFA weapons are still legal to buy I think we can put to rest the idea that this incident will cause significant fallout.

This zombie thread is done.
