Apparently this trial is going on now.....

I watched the vdeo on CNN. Not that I know anything about uzis. But the gun was jamming and doing weird stuff.....
Like walking into the hands of an 8 year old?

Jamming is not exactly "weird stuff" on an Uzi...and a blowback-operated weapon with a massive bolt like the Uzi rocks wildly back and forth during automatic fire. Especially if fired without the benefit of a deployed and properly utilized shoulder stock, as Uzi-shooting rednecks are wont to do.

It can be fired reasonably well, but requires training and some strength. They're cheap, POS guns designed as inexpensive, possibly concealable bullet hoses.

Possibly in the guise of the gun show organizer. Jeezus ****ing Christ:

In 2003, Pelham officials took undisclosed administrative action against Fleury after he discharged a loaded rifle during a gun safety class he was teaching. No one was injured and Fleury said in a public apology he would take steps to prevent similar incidents.
