The state of Arizona might want to reconsider a law that requires no age restrictions for firing guns.

On August 25, 2014, a nine year old girl vacationing in Whitehills, Arizona accidentally shot and killed gun instructor Charles Vacca, 39, at Last Stop shooting range, a “gun tourism business” where guests can enjoy hamburgers, helicopter tours of the nearby Grand Canyon, and a shooting range, all sponsored by tour company “Bullets and Burgers.”

The girl, wearing pink shorts, her hair in a braid, simply lost control of the weapon, an Uzi on automatic mode. Uzis, automatic weapons designed for war, shoot 10 bullets per second.

In the wake of the incident and Vacca’s death, gun debate have risen to headlines once again. Many think neither the law nor guns are the problem; rather, it was poor choice and supervision on the part of the parents to let the girl handle such a powerful weapon.

Genghis Cohen, owner of nearby shooting Range Machine Guns Vegas, called the incident tragic but “utterly avoidable.” Cohen added, “I would never let a girl of that size shoot a fully automatic gun of that size — never.”

On the contrary, people wonder why children are even allowed near guns in the first place, and believe that laws such as the one in Arizona welcome disaster. Mellissa Robbins of CNN reported, “For anyone who asks ‘What were they thinking?’ the answer is: They weren’t. That’s why the law needs to change — to protect kids from adult stupidity.”

After the incident, the NRA acted strangely, posting an article entitled “7 Ways Children Can Have Fun at the Shooting Range,” on twitter, and then deleting the tweet an hour later.

Regardless of opinion, the death of Charles Vacca is tragedy, as is that for the rest of her life, a nine year old girl must live with the fact that she killed someone. High hopes that in the near future, such stupid, avoidable, and horrible accidents will be prevented.
