A nine year old girl being instructed in the use of an UZI submachine gun. What the hell for? Is this a beginner's weapon ?

A nine-year-old girl accidentally shot and killed a shooting range instructor in Arizona after the recoil on the Uzi submachine-gun she was learning to use sent the weapon over her head.

The instructor, Charles Vacca, 39, was standing next to the girl at an outdoor range when the accident happened on Monday, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office said.

"At about 10:00am, deputies responded to the Last Stop business located at 20606 North Highway 93 in White Hills. Investigations determined a nine-year-old girl accidentally shot the instructor in the head," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

The girl's family was visiting the shooting range while on holiday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
A video released by the sheriff's office shows Mr Vacca helping the girl with her stance and her grip on the gun before she fires a test shot.

"All right," Mr Vacca is heard saying.

The girl fires a few more shots and the weapon appears to tilt to the left before the video abruptly ends.

Mr Vacca was airlifted to a medical centre in Las Vegas, about 100 kilometres away, but died shortly after.

"This is a rarity for something like this to happen," a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office told the Los Angeles Times.

I'm so glad this is a rarity. I'd hate to think that it was an everyday experience.

Additional information:

Last Stop, which includes a restaurant, bar and RV park, has a “Burgers and Bullets” program that offers customers lunch with a trip to the range, where they can choose from among more than 20 automatic weapons to shoot, according to its website.

Burgers and bullets! Family fun for all, no doubt.
 

Don't you realize that they are coming for us? Haven't you heard about the one world government that will take away all of your rights?
 
Your constitutional right to arm yourself to the teeth is probably the most important one for many...
 
I don't think Britain has a written constitution. It does have a Magna Carta though.

Constitutions organise, distribute and regulate state power. They set out the structure of the state, the major state institutions, and the principles governing their relations with each other and with the state’s citizens. Britain is unusual in that it has an ‘unwritten’ constitution: unlike the great majority of countries there is no single legal document which sets out in one place the fundamental laws outlining how the state works. Britain’s lack of a ‘written’ constitution can be explained by its history. In other countries, many of whom have experienced revolution or regime change, it has been necessary to start from scratch or begin from first principles, constructing new state institutions and defining in detail their relations with each other and their citizens. By contrast, the British Constitution has evolved over a long period of time, reflecting the relative stability of the British polity. It has never been thought necessary to consolidate the basic building blocks of this order in Britain. What Britain has instead is an accumulation of various statutes, conventions, judicial decisions and treaties which collectively can be referred to as the British Constitution. It is thus more accurate to refer to Britain’s constitution as an ‘uncodified’ constitution, rather than an ‘unwritten’ one.

We do not have a written constitution.
as for the Magna Carta; it took some power away from the king; but gave it to the nobles instead.
no room for the peasants.....
but we have been around rather longer than the rest of you; most people were not taught to read and write back then....especially in Latin.
 
Well, as for you Brits, it seems that you lost your empire for not keeping up with the times...
 
As independant as any relatively small nation.....that at times tries to be more important than it really is...
sometimes we like to pretend that we still have an empire; I think we ought to leave all that stuff to our larger 'special friend'
 
Very honest reply, and that is why it was stupid of us to have split from you as you could still be bearing the brunt of the world's problems...

Ralphy, you are such a troll. Most of the British Empire was granted independence/self government when ready. That is why the former colonies are still on good terms with the Mother Country.
 
Trouble is; a lot of it is cause and effect...
Look at the way we; in the broadest sense of the word; carved up the ME; just drawing lines on a map.
look at the way Israel was created; mainly because of guilt over the holocaust.
it is all coming back to bite us all..
Add to that, the African nations that we gave Independance to, that are now corrupt; even India fell apart into two, then three states....

If the Spanish had won, back in the 16th century; would anything be very different?
Just a ponder...
 
Would anything be different? Knowing how they behaved during the age of exploration, probably not...
 
:iagree: You know that, Justme, and I know that but they don't know that. It is our job to point it out.
