This family was on vacation (I heard it was from Australia). I wonder how much experience the 9 year old had with guns, and how an instructor could place a Uzi into the hands of a 9 year old (or anyone who they have not worked with in the past.

I thought it was a big deal to fire a single shot .22 when I was 9, and I had been using a pellet rifle since I was 5.
