Utter irresponsibility: That is how I see this situation. Hat tip to Texas Fred for the update. Anyone that follows me on the forums and blogs are more than aware that I support civilian ownership of Class Three weapons. This is not the place for that discussion though.
This is about responsibility, accountability, and just plain common sense. I have been to many “fun shoots” that involved fully automatic weapons. They were fun, and never have I seen any sort of mishap.
At this event though, people dropped the ball, and a boy died. Others are calling for the heads of those involved. Too a degree I also believe that there should be consequences. However, I do not think that the prosecution should be given free reign for a lynching, either figuratively or relatively. This was tragic for any and all involved.
Lets look at what the investigation reveals, and then take the necessary steps to minimize the chance that anything like this ever happens again, anywhere.
