That was just awful job by the instructor. He shouldn't have been standing where he was standing, and he shouldn't have had his hands where he had his hands.

Why do women, especially little girls, never seem to understand the concept of...

I watched about half of the video before I decided it's probably something I'd rather not see.

[Swaggart]

Clearly the issue here is that this child was not introduced to fully automatic weapons at an earlier age. She really should have been exposed to this kind of weaponry at age 3.

No. Dying that way is just so incredibly stupid and senseless. To be honest it's to stupid to laugh about it, I was like "meh" irl. 

I think we're laughing in the face of American gun culture, rather than to the man who died. He is borderline Darwin award candidate, but I don't laugh to those either.

There's two different approaches to the idea of guns in society from what I can tell.

For someone from a densely populated urban area, guns almost always equate to crime. Why would you need to carry a gun or even know how to use one? There's cops, that's what they're there for. Someone with a gun is seen as either a dubious, slightly/very paranoid vigilantee wannabe or a criminal.

For someone from a sparsely populated rural area, guns are just one of many things you are introduced to at a young age. Farm kids have been shooting guns and hunting since the invention of the fucking thing. Pretending it's some sort insane abberation is disengenuous. When the nearest help is miles away, posession of a gun and knowledge on how to use it is as sensible as keeping a well-stocked pharmacy. It's just another tool and it is perceived as such.

Whenever I see the gun debate pop up I always like to ask that question. Where did you grow up or currently live? What type of environment have you lived in most of your life, sparsely populated rural or densely populated urban? It explains a lot of the american political divide on this issue (and others). Rural vs urban is a saga that stretches quite a long way back.

Hunting with automatic rifles, really?

[IR_Kuoin]

If you are gonna teach your kid how to use a gun don't give them a weapon with auto give them a bolt-action or some shit.

[Butan]

Why the hell would you give an automatic weapon to a child that can't handle the recoil?

I'm fine with gun culture, but that was a reckless decision right there

I dont know for exact security measures applied in this case (young kid and full auto) but it looks like he though he had control of the gun by gripping her right forearm, but ultimately slipped from the recoil itself.

Pretty much this.

Also, this happened on a fucking range, yet people are acting as if this kid was shooting in the middle of the street, thanks to "American gun culture" and "the second amendment." Pretty sure everyone's country here has gun ranges...

Wise words coming out of your mouth, Xant. Just 50 yards from my place is shooting range (not in the open field though). Local children regularly come there to play with miniguns. Oh wait, that is PC cafe with Call of Duty installed.

Yes there are shooting ranges in every country, and yes, kids do practice there at least once as part of elementary school activity. However, only guns you can fire in there don't use live ammo and aren't automatic. No need for that, because you're training your aiming skills not lethality of firearms.

Wat? No live ammo in a shooting range? Which country do you live in, again? And is your claim that there are no shooting ranges with live ammo in your country? If not, how is it relevant that your nearest range doesn't have live ammo..?

[Porthos]

More like "A shooting instructor got killed by his profession".

Children is not his profession

Anyway, the video is funny. Thanks for posting it

Sure thing, but a 9-year-old girl with Uzi? That's hilarious.
