A 9 year old girl shot Charles Vacca, a shooting instructor, in a shooting range in Arizona. The girl was taken into the range by her parents to use an Uzi, an Israeli made 9 mm sub machine gun. As the girl pulled the trigger, the gun jumped out of her hand, and went towards Vacca, who was standing next to her. Although, the date of this event is unclear, according to the articles, it probably occurred within the months of July to September of 2014.
I find this to be a violation of the second amendment because it clearly states so in the first article. This act raises many questions. First of all, why should this 9 year old girl have access to a sub machine gun? And as the writer said, "Why does anybody not on the front lines of the military in a war zone need to have access to a sub machine gun?" Now this brings in the Second Amendment, which states "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Within the first few words, the amendment states "A well regulated militia," meaning that you have to belong to a well regulated militia, if you want to bear arms. There is no statement for the right of a regular citizen to bear arms. This 9 year old girl was by no means in a militia group, which leads to my conclusion in the infringement of the 2nd amenment
