Not the first time this has happened. I wouldn't give 5-7 200 lbs 13 yr old an uzi to shoot, I sure as hell wouldn't put one in the hands of 9 year old girl. A 10 year old boy shot himself with an uzi at a Colorado gun show a few years ago. Full auto is not easy to control, and those guns are notorious for muzzle flip, WTF would you train a 9 year old to shoot what is essentially a full auto hand gun?

The instructor should have known better than that.

Very sad. And you can bet this will be used by some antis to point out the "idiocy" if the pro-2A crowd. I, too, think it was poor judgement to allow her to shoot that particular gun... I do remember the suppressed MP5 was pretty easy. But I don't know that I'd let my 9 y/o son shoot even that one just yet.

Terrible tragedy, though.
