At a machine gun shoot, someone thought it would be wise to allow an 8 year old to fire a full auto Uzi. Uzi's are barely controllable in full auto by a grown man, let a lone an 8 year old kid. The "worst" happened and the muzzle kept rising...right up to the kids face and killed him. It's a horrible story and a tragic ending due to poor judgment.
Would you let an 8 year old drive a Semi in rush hour traffic? Whether or not the parent is bracing the kid from behind, someone needed their hand on the muzzle of that gun. It was an avoidable, terrible mistake.
