Gun Control & RKBA

But it matters, some experts and activists say, because of the people behind the petition and their message.
Sponsoring the petition is the family of Charlie Vacca, the instructor killed one year ago by a 9-year-old New Jersey girl in pink shorts when she lost control of an Uzi rifle at a popular Arizona gun range. And the message is no broadside against Americans Second Amendment rights, but what the family calls a "common sense" appeal to gun owners and non-gun owners alike.
Laws say that children cant drink, cant drive, cant vote. But they can shoot fully automatic assault weapons. That hasnt changed, Mr. Vaccas oldest daughter, Elizabeth, says on the petition.

The instructor should have known that and was an idiot for standing where he was and not telling her how to fire in bursts. If she really wanted to fire a machine gun, they should have provided a heavier gun mounted on a tripod or bipod.

I guess you'd be more comfortable at the point in humanities past, when getting to the bottom of things, knowing the facts of things, the why and the how of things, was considered heresy.
Maybe in the future you can shorten your posts by just saying 'heretic' or 'blasphemer'.

(3,075 posts)The late Mr. Vacca was the problem. He gave the child the gun. He did not maintain control. He put himself in a dangerous position. Sorry for the family but the law is not necessary.
