Seriously messed up. I grew up around guns since my dad is a collector and gunsmith, and he was all about teaching me how to use them - but SAFELY and certianly not beyond my abilities.
I was 15 before he let me use an automatic weapon (an AK-47). Even at that age the recoil surprised me but I knew what to expect and I had it well under control. For frick's sake, at 8 I still wasn't allowed to use anything bigger than a pellet gun!
Guns don't kill people, people who let 8 year olds use Uzi's kill people.
