The problem isn't her age. It is the fact she is so tiny and there is no way she can control a fully auto weapon. Now the girl is going to have to live with the fact that she killed someone.
EDIT: I watched the vid, and I wish the instructor would have been holding the gun with her.

9 years old should have only been shooting a water gun

No, she's not going to be charged with murder or anything like that. The only thing that's going to happen to her, is that's more and likely going to be on her mind for the rest of her life. She didn't intentionally kill anyone and even then, it was just a freak accident that ended up costing someone their life. Granted, there could have been multiple precautions to take to help further avoid something like this from happening, but nothing like this was expected to happen.

CL4PTRAP wrote I feel bad for the shooting instructor but more for the little girl. Who reall expects a little girl to control a full automated gun. Her hands are small and not that strong, she is going to grow up knowing she killed a man. I couldn't live with that for the rest of my life also who the **** brings a 9yr old to a shooting range.Well I was five when I was first brought to a range and as far as "Holding the gun for her" Goes thats even more dangerous and most ranges prohibit doing so...
I mean he should of held the gun with her to help reduce recoil.

To be fair it's not the 9 year olds fault.
These instructors are trained to knock the guns out of the shooters hand and to the side if they loose control of the gun as obviously it's a known hazard that someone can loose control of the gun especially if its in the hands of a 9 year old girl. But he clearly didn't do his job properly otherwise he would still be alive now.
I do personally believe it's ridiculous that they would be stupid enough to allow a 9 year old girl to handle a firearm of that kind of power or in that case any firearm at all!

I actually did my Current Event in Government and Politics in school on this. It's very sad and the way it sounds, the instructor should have had more control.
Mistakes happen, I can't imagine how the little girl is going to live with that for the rest of her life. I certainly couldn't do it.

Nobody should own a gun except for authorities. That should be a rule.

Except, you know, she was at a shooting range so she and her parents didn't own that gun.....
Also, people who own and use guns responsibly aren't an issue, so no, they shouldn't be for authorities only, guns have saved people when they are responsible with said gun, taking that away won't cause any good, seeing as if a criminal wanted to get a gun and do whatever they wanted with it, they would get one by their own means.
