9 year old accidentally kills her shooting instructor whilst learning to shoot an Uzi full auto.

Is it possible for people to get any dumber

That was to young for a nine year old to be shooting a full auto to start with . All I can do to hold one .

Sure is.

Just watch where this thread goes.

Where were the child's parents? To let a child that age to be taught to use a gun?

[Nefarious]

I don't believe this is the first time this has happened. I recall something like this happening with a young boy a few years back with a sub, tried to google it but I have to run.

That's not to young to shoot like a 22cal but not a sub . I was deer hunting at that age .

I first shot a gun when I was 3. My dad's service M1 Carbine. I joined a gun club when I was 7.

Too young for an Uzi for sure.

First time I shot one I was in a standing position with the stock folded out.  We were ordered to fire bursts of 3 or 4 rounds at the targets  I pulled the trigger and sent about 10 rounds up the side of the wall of the outdoor range.  The range officer screamed at me....I felt like a complete idiot.  But once I got the hang of it it was easy to squirt off 3 round bursts into the target.  It was just a lack of knowledge of how the weapon would react.

I was 20 years old when that happened.

How could you possibly have done that with a 9mm SMG?! A 9 year old girl might have problems with it, but it's not like there's any real recoil for a grown man.

Never fired one before that.

Had no idea what to expect.

Posting a video of a guy who has clearly fired an Uzi before is supposed to show what exactly?

try this:

or any number of first timer vids.

And that teenager did not send "about 10 rounds up the side of the wall of the outdoor range". And that's even a .45 ACP chambered UZI...

Fact is it will climb on full auto unless it's controlled, whether by a man or a nine year old girl. That's why everybody should get proper training before firing any weapon.

The 'Instructor' was completely careless and paid the price and now the poor kid has to live with her parents bad choice of recreational activity.

I was trained on the Carl Gustav sub machine gun, also known as the 'Swedish K'. That would climb like crazy on full auto.

[GScholz]

I've shot the "K-Pist" on several occasions. It is one of the most docile subguns out there.
