8-Year-Old test fires Uzi, accidentally killed by self inflicted head wound

I am sorry, but I find it too difficult to take your position seriously. Your "explane"-ation is ridiculous. You want your kid to have a job that involves killing people, so you start them early? Concepts of "honor" are just so 19th century; people kill and even commit suicide for such an intangible and useless thing like "honor". It doesn't feed people or cloth people, it is just a buzz word to take advantage of people's need for self-worth. Now I do think that police officers are necessary to protect the peace, but come on all those other jobs you mentioned are MILITARY jobs? How is a military job honorable? Is it because it is honorable to fight for one's country? Again, another example of how honor is a word to control people. I suppose you thought the germans fighting out of honor for their country in WWII was the exact same thing you would have done as a german, right? But OHNO! AMERICANS fight for DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM! More rehashed garbage, any country and every country fights for its self-interests. It is a shame that a call to arms is necessary, but it should be avoided at all causes. But to say that it is one of the most "honorable" jobs is bullshit. Plain bullshit. Are you actually accusing of jobs of politician and lawyer as dishonorable? That is a whole other field I will not tackle, because I have my own unrelated opinions on the issue, but you MUST see the hypocrisy here. So you want your son to go into the military to fight in places that politicans decide, to defend a country that supports the judicial process of fair trial and right to a lawyer. Did I get that right? A politician is supposed to be a civil servant and a lawyer a representative of the benefit of the doubt. It keeps people from just going to jail by being accused. Yes, BOTH positions have been tainted many times but that is the flimsy, accessible nature of those positions. But still... come on! I remember when I was young, my father did let me use a rifle. But it was a BOLT ACTION rifle! I think that is perfect enough. But to put dangerous automatic weapons in the hands of an eight year old is something that should revoke a parents right to have a child! And WORSE, to do that while standing their, grinning, hoping that your son will one day become a little soldier and have to shoot people. Those should be things that we don't WANT to do, but that we HAVE to do. And there you are, painting it up in all its fake glory like some 19th century military tradition with colors and banners and it was just that whole mess of a period that glorified the military and the "great battle" for the sake of it; where fighting for your "country" regardless of what was considered a good and admirable thing. People thought of it like a game, like a chess board that is the world. You have some major delusions man, fuck.

Don, the video posted here by the site was taken from my You Tube channel (without my permission) -that is my son in the video and at all times he is fireing a range officer has his hands on my son, You do need to apologize- I never said it was my kid that got killed nor did I incinuate it, you jumped to conclussions. I was dirrected to this site because someone linked my video here. My kid is 11 and he handles these guns very well.

Best post of the thread. There's something goofy about being infatuated with guns. It's not entirely mentally healthy, IMHO. I think it has something to do with guns' ability to kill something/someone.
