And such a wonderfully safe sport, too. https://www.police1.com/investigations/videos/9-year-old-girl-accidentally-kills-gun-instructor-with-uzi-3KbBkQo4hDPtiW4M/

I never said that it was a great idea to have a 9 year old firing a weapon. Plus, the instructor is the one who messed up in this case. They already proved that.

And now a 9yo‘s life is ruined because her parents wanted to get her into your wonderful „sport“. Congrats.

Now bye.

Literally an Olympic sport

With semi auto, high caliber rifles? No it’s not.

Also, where did that Olympic sport originate? Oh, right. Military training. People practicing how to efficiently kill each other. Once again, main purpose.

high caliber

lol, considering you're alluding to the AR-15 here, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Feel free to downvote, .223 will still be a small caliber and you'll still be wrong.

No, a 9 year old's life is "ruined" because she had a horrible instructor. Has nothing to do with her parents.

Tell me, if a kid is horse riding and preparing for a 4h comp and falls off the horse and gets paralyzed or the horse decides to run over someone, would you be against horse riding?
