This story is just plain sad and I have no clever headline

Look, I'm pro Second Amendment, within reason. I've gone deer, small game and turkey hunting and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But this is just plain crazy - letting nine year olds fire actual machine guns, especially in such close proximity to other humans. Unless they're like, six foot six nine year olds who can handle these severe implements of death, "safely." Author and journalist Greg Palast called the USA an "Armed Madhouse;" incidents such as these - which are sadly a dime a dozen in America - prove him right. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/23/us/year-after-death-business-as-usual-at-gun-range.html
