How many people die in B&A accidents? Drown while fishing?

The accident was unfortunate-why was an 8 year old allowed to shoot a
SMG anyway?

I started with small caliber, long rifles, probably would or could have shot myself in the foot-but letting a child shoot something that uncontrolable is the fault of the father.

I hope the laws change to allow children to learn gun safety, but with smaller caliber, long guns, not the 'cool guns' they see used on TV or in the media.
