Former Florida Rep. Joe Scarborough said Wednesday that the Founding Fathers did not write the Second Amendment to allow children to fire semi-automatic machine guns. <\/p>\n
Mr. Scarborough, the Republican co-host of MSNBCs Morning Joe, was responding to the news that a 9-year-old girl lost control of an Uzi at an Arizona shooting range this week and accidentally killed her instructor. <\/p>\n

Why are you putting an Uzi in the hands of a 9-year-old girl? It is sick, Mr. Scarborough said. What is wrong with these people? What is wrong with this culture? <\/p>\n
NBC reported that shooting range allowed children as young as 8 years old to fire weapons. <\/p>\n
I find it hard to believe that our Founding Fathers put together a Second Amendment to give 8-year children the right to fire semi-automatic weapons, and if you think that is what the Constitution of the United States, says you should really go back and read the Second Amendment, Mr. Scarborough said. <\/p>\n
