Another senseless gun tragedy

Tweet

I posted the other day about a tragedy in a neighboring county. I was watching the news today and saw another disturbing story regarding guns. Apparently, a man took his son to a gun show and allowed him to fire an Uzi while he was there. An uzi is a very difficult gun for adults to handle, nevertheless a child. His son, eight years old was killed when the gun backfired and shot him in the head. I realize that many children learn to hunt when they are young but what was the dad thinking allowing his son to fire an uzi in the first place. The gun show owner is being charged with involuntary manslaughter but he wasn't even there when this happened. I feel it is the dad who should be charged in this case not the gun show owner.
