Muggy I can't agree more.

Guns are why we can't have nice things: http://time.com/3194693/9-year-old-girl-uzi-arizona-firing-range/

And yet some people still say we don't need gun control.....I'm not talking about striking out the second amendment (although I personally would), but this shouldn't happen.

If you didn't follow the link, a nine-year old girl was allowed to shoot an Uzi at a gun range and couldn't control it (go figure) and accidentally killed a gun instructor.

I don't want to get into a debate as to whether guns are good or they are bad here but I have to comment on this. This is a horrible ACCIDENT, there is zero malicious intent here. This is not much different than her accidentally taking a car out of gear and running him over. The gun that it happened with IS in fact a controlled weapon. You have to go through very serious checks and balances to buy a fully automatic weapon. This is why she and her parent were renting it at a range verses shooting their own weapon. This is a situation where they put the wrong gun in the child's hands, I'm 100% not against a 9 yo shooting the correct gun (a small caliber rifle, a smaller caliber hand gun and absolutely not fully automatic), but this was simply a bad discussion on the part of the parent and of the instructor. Just sucks that 9 yo is going to live with these bad decisions that were not made by her.

But they do. The point is, nine-year olds shouldn't be allowed to shoot Uzis...

I don't trust my none year old cousin with string.

I personally prefer bows...

^THIS!

Archery > marksmanship

Yup, I have a compound bow, I love it.

I don't own a bow, but I love archery as well. So much fun! Also (generally) safer
