When you go to these shoots to watch or actually fire a machine gun the bullets are purchased a clip at a time. So there was probably 32 rounds in the clip and when the child pulled the trigger even if he had both hands on the gun one probably slipped off and the gun just did a semi-circle rising perpendicular from the table in front of him and one the the shots probably the last one entered the boys head. 32 rounds, just think if the Uzi went sidesways and not up and down. Many more people could have been injured. I know the Hanson shoot people are lined up all morning at the .50 machine gun. I think its $200.00 for a clip of 50 rounds or maybe less. I have never gone and don't care too. I don't own any guns. But I live a mile or so away as the crow flies and can hear them all being fired. I was going to get my machine gun license years ago. Had the opportunity to buy these types of weapons. I was always mesmerized by Thompsons. Really unique gun. Doesn't rise that much. A one-hundred round drum disappeared in no time. Very expensive. One of my now deceased co-workers and I went to a nearby town closer to Boston where he purchased two fo them. His wife sold them for $15,000.00 a piece after he died. He paid $800.00 for them the day I was with him. Great invetsment.
