Either way, my blame here goes to the parents and the place allowing this. Seriously, why? Whatever happened to taking your kid to the zoo for a ride on the elephant or something.

Obviously there is blame to go around. Just like circuses whose elephants go bonkers and try to kill the handlers and spectators. Heck, I think dogs kill more kids every year than this accident.

Unfortunately, stuff happens. It's awful it happened, but there's nothing wrong with people using guns for sport/fun, whatever.

I don't think a kid that young should be shooting any kind of gun that has recoil. Let the kid shoot a .22 or something, not a ****ing Uzi.

Even a red ryder in the hands of an 8 year old is a dangerous proposition. Unfortunately, I grew up before there was paintball. If you got red blood on your shirt, you were out of the game.

Like I said an automatic gun in the hands of a child or anyone with the mental capacity of a child is ridisulous. All I can picture is a parent trying to give instruction to the kid and the kid turns, loses focus with his finger on the trigger and bullerts are spraying everywhere. Sad, Sad, day.

Who's the ****ing genius that put the uzi in the hands of an 8-year old? What a waste of life...

I wouldn't feel comfortable letting an eight year old shoot anything other than a bb gun, but I've seen a hunting video where a dad let his, if I remember correctly, six year old daughter shoot a .410 shotgun. I think that's pretty crazy, but she did take down two deer.

I'll never fully understand the American penchant for wanting to own and carry around guns especially automatic weapons. That being said, even if I were a type to do this kind of thing I definitely wouldn't let an 8 year old firing an uzi of all things.

If you were under constant threat of being invaded by the British you would understand.

Thankfully the French have our backs.

Re: Boy, 8, Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself With Uzi

It's not necessarily fully auto. They make many semi-auto versions of automatic weapons.

The one the kid used was, the recoil kicked the gun back and caught him in the face. The dad went for a camera to take a picture and the kid couldnt hold it stable.

Either way, bad idea at 8.. shoot a 22 rifle

Why is it legal for an 8-year-old to use an Uzi, but he can't legally drive a car until he's 14-16 (depending on the state)? Not trying to stir up trouble, just curious.

i agree, even though this was in a controlled environment i don't see how this makes any sense whatsoever...

Wow, that freaking sucks.. poor kid.

...Now watch as Jack Thompson randomly blames this because of games like GTA.

Re: Boy, 8, Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself With Uzi

I wish the kid shot the parent, then this would be the perfect Darwin Award.

I cannot get over the stupidity of the parent that allowed his son to shoot an Uzi.

Re: Boy, 8, Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself With Uzi

That's absolutely terrible.

The ignorance in some "parents" today is mind boggling. Any idiot can have a kid apparently. Really is a shame.
