<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I see a lot of comments and opinions all over new sites, Facebook and elsewhere blaming the parents for taking their child to a gun range to shoot an UZI. I think the gun range is to blame - if any blame is to be handed out.

I'm sure you all realize that nobody is forced to know anything about guns. Nobody has to take any classes or get any license unless they actually want own or fire a gun. People can go their whole lives without ever touching a real gun. All they may ever know about guns is what they see on TV.

Now you take a person who knows nothing "real" about guns to Las Vegas and they see an advertisement for this range. The ad says that they have expert instructors, been in business for X years, kids 8 and up can come shoot, have burgers while you're here, etc. How is that person supposed to know that it's not safe? They have experts! To them, maybe it seems as dangerous as bungee jumping or skydiving. Sounds like a good thrill in a safe, controlled environment.

The bottom line is: The parents didn't simply hand their kid a gun and say "have fun!" which is what most commenters seem to think. They went to a licensed gun range with trained experts who clearly stated it was okay for kids to shoot those guns. Something bad happened and a person died. To blame the parents for that death and their decisions leading up to it is wrong. In fact, an argument could be made that nobody is to blame - it was just a tragic accident.
<bot>: Gun range advertises expert instructors that can show children how to fire guns. Daughter of family who only knows guns from TV shows accidentally kills instructor. Not parents fault.
