Kid Kills himself with Uzi "With Adult Supervision on site"

link: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/10/27/boy.shoots.himself.ap/index.html

I'm planning a great pumpkin massacre myself this next weekend, but there won't be any automatic weapons involved.

I used to carry an Uzi in Israel. I wouldn't let a kid near one no matter what supervision they were under. Drop one of those things and off it can go.

I dunno. My uncle had a semi auto uzi. They always seemed heavy to me, and very controllable. I think I was like ten when we shot it?

In fact, if the boys father is neutered in some way we could have a retroactive Darwin award on our hands.

Isn't biological success surviving long enough to reproduce? Wouldn't think a lineage's end would deem every ancestor a Darwin award winner.

So his son was infertile? Seems to me he probably was fertile, but wasn't old enough to mate.

This agrees with my understanding of Biological Success.

Still, couldn't the father have future offspring?

^You know the article says only that an adult was supervising him, not his dad.

My joke was the father was an idiot that didn't deserve to have offspring or see his offspring have any of their own because he allowed an 8 year old to shoot a fully automatic Uzi. Thus the father being neutered or killed would stop him from having offspring and the fact that his son died would make it retroactive. Stop making something funny, somthing tiring.

Your post isn't at issue.

Subjective statement on both counts.

The way this thread is going, I want to shoot myself in the head with an Uzi.

We've come a long way since "you'll put your eye out with that thing!"

Without the Darwin awards shit.

#1 - Muzzle climb on a full-auto Uzi is a bitch. Back in the stone-age, we used a combination of full-auto UZI's and full-auto folding Galil's on the SWAT team before switching to M4's.

#2 - The only time I've ever let a child shoot a Class III weapon, I put a grand total of 3 rounds in the magazine just to prevent something like this.

Your own kid?

Used the Galilon too while in Israel with IDF.

Galilon?

I've never seen it spelled that way. Is that the proper spelling? Is Galil just short for that?

^

I figured it was a typo.

I know very little about it other than it's based on a Kalashnikov..

...and for years I thought that one was pronounced Kalishinov.

It's supposedly uber capable. The Hebrews, after all, are excellent warriors.

OOh I get it.

You can combine a Galil, an UZI, a Desert Eagle, and a Tavor, and they create.........GALILON!!!!!!!
