  "a 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled over her shoulder, according to arizona authorities.

  another reason to go against those arguing that young children should be taught how to use guns.

  So the next time we hear a story about a 9 year-old who gets into the driver's seat of the family car and accidentally kills her dad by running him over in the driveway, I expect to hear a lot of JWN posters call for the banning of automobiles. The only way to make cars safe is to make sure no one has one.

  This was your first post on this thread and your second and third posts, etc., are in the same vein.

  Your argument is that any criticism of the judgement of the adults involved is hindsight. I call BS.

  Actually no one has called for the banning of guns here, but have questioned the wisdom of allowing children to use automatic weapons. You give yourself away with your knee-jerk pre-emptive defense of unrestricted gun access - no matter the weapon, no matter the user.

  How does my simply giving a synopsis of the facts of the incident get translated into the idea I agree with what was done?

  Maybe spend more time reading my posts and less time reading into them.

  You should go back and read your own posts on this thread. You'll see why you're getting negative responses here even though you're trying to walk back your remarks.

  While I often agree with your general observations, your position on guns is always pro, no matter the circumstances.

  The problem with the phrase "just an accident" is that it is dismissive of further analysis which might lead to a solution that prevents this happening in the future. It implies that, as a accident, it was unavoidable.

  Of course it was an ACCIDENT. But it wasn't just an accident. It was much more than just an accident. It was tragically bad judgement on the part of the adults who were supposed to be in charge. And it should lead to policy changes for all shooting ranges, enforced by the feds if necessary.

  OMG! Gun control!

  Hmmm 150 years ago 'kids' knew how to fire a rifle etc BEFORE that age in many parts of America/Canada ..... Kids today are raised not to be men or woemn but to be kids... that is the problem

  I don't believe automatic weapons were around 150 years ago.

  This gun thing is out of control. Well-regulated militia my Aunt Fanny.

  I have a feeling that, as more information is forthcoming, the parents are revealed to be idiots.

  i'm not sure if this has been discussed before.

  you guys might recall that when the 2013 yearbook came out, the letter from the governing body ended a bit unusually:.

  we love you all very much.

  During the recent (2012) election campaign, the Romney camp was doing very poorly with the female demographic.

  Ann Romney took to the stage and at one point said, without preamble or context, "I LOVE YOU WOMEN!"

  Such blatant, mindless pandering probably hurt them - just as the GB's, "We love you children!" should hurt them.

  It sounds condescending, patronizing, and exploitive.

  people like robin williams can make you laugh.

  we might think that they have it all but we really know nothing about their demons, their problems, their issues.

  someone might be funny on the outside but be totally depressed from within..

  Yes, Mum. Thanks for posting Richard Cory. I thought of that one, too, remembering it from high school.
