    Guns don’t kill people, nine year old girls with Uzis kill people….

    This seems really boneheaded. How do people who supposedly understand guns not see the risk here?

    Gun enthusiasts are appalled by the Arizona Uzi incident.

    FWIW-recoil, firearm control, cartridge energy, firearm familiarization, gun safety, etc. are all frequent topics of discussion among very experienced gun enthusiasts, law enforcement people, ex-military, and so on. One gun enthusiast I know with vast firearms experience describes a particular automatic pistol as a “beast” for its difficult-to-control recoil. That’s the talk among small arms experts.

    What a youngster that age was doing with a full-auto Uzi is beyond me.

    Here’s a review (now taken down) on Trip Advisor for Bullets and Burgers, the company that includes a fun visit to the shooting range in question with some burgers. Perfect combination. It’s apparently the #1 attraction in Las Vegas, which says a lot about Las Vegas.

    “Great place for kids”
    [five stars out of five!]

    This is a great place for young children to learn to fire Uzis. With this kind of training, kids will never have to worry about bullying in school.
