I did read that the supervisor in charge of the gun and kid at the time was a 15 year old and he is not being indicted. Who in the hell would think it is okay for an 8 year old kid to handle and shoot a sub-machine gun under any conditions. I am all for teaching kids how to use guns, I have been hunting with my grandsons for years but I would not let either of them at 8 and 11 years old hold and shoot a pistol without my hand close by, much less an automatic micro-uzi. I am sorry for the people involved but I think what they set up was a disaster waiting to happen. This is not a 2nd amendment issue, it is a stupid issue.

Just remember you're talking about Massachusetts where pepper spray is regulated under gun laws. Does anyone know if the Brady types fingerprints are on the “under 18″ law?

Seriously?

Just remember you’re talking about Massachusetts where pepper spray is regulated under gun laws.

This was an irresponsible move, on everyone involved's part. And now a child's life has been lost due to it. All other costs really tend to pale in comparison. Fred beat me to it.

NONE was exhibited. I am NOT anti Class III, not in ANY way, but to place one in the hands of an 8 year old kid that had NO training and was totally unprepared was a crime in and of itself...

Ignorance of the law is NOT a defense." Does anyone even understand how damn many laws we have? Knowing them all would be like memorizing a few sets of encyclopedias, A-Z x 5 or more. Add to that the multiple layers of government and I can GUARANTEE that you can't even find a freak of nature with photographic memory and recall in this country that knows them all. Does anyone know if the Brady types fingerprints are on the "under 18" law? As someone said there: “1. Ignorance of the law is NOT a defense.”

I agree that they were wrong, but no one intended for it to happen, and wild hysterics from anti-gun people and the media aside, it was a relatively freak accident. The kid could just as easily have fallen down a crevasse when his dad took him hiking over a glacier. That was poor judgment too, but no one would be looking for someone to put in jail in that circumstance. It’s just hard for me to see otherwise good people get ruined.
