9yo girl accidentally kills shooting instructor

Hopefully we can use this as a teaching moment to all those who think "assault weapons" are full auto. Second thought, never mind.

Hell, I've heard of cops shooting the ceiling at the range on their first go on full auto.

I've seen that.

According to http://bearingarms.com/shooting-rang...-old-mini-uzi/ he may not even have been a real instructor.

I'm of mixed opinion on just how upset I am that this range employee was killed as a result of his obvious negligence.

I am very upset that a young girl is traumatized as a result of this f'up.

It's heartbreaking. From every perspective, regardless of the chain of events, it leaves a hole in the soul.

A guy on another forum has actually been to that range, and says the victim did work there, but when he went there, he had a different instructor.

This makes me very, VERY sad. I really feel for that little girl.

Prayers to their families, God speed.

I would make my usual comment about the need for vetting instructors and making sure they are competent and experienced in whatever they are teaching or demonstrating but I think it falls on deaf ears anyways. Wallets control people's thoughts these days and safety gets thrown right out the window for a few bucks saved. Hopefully that little girl gets through this event OK.
