Oh, no! North Carolina laws allow children to use automatic guns
Saturday, August 30, 2014 8:45
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
A 9-year-old Arizona girl’s accidental killing of her firearms instructor this week reignited the national debate over guns, but with an unusual focus: children using fully automatic rifles.
North Carolina is among 30 states that don’t prohibit children from using rifles, whether it’s a .22-caliber squirrel rifle or a fully automatic Uzi like the one in the Arizona accident.
Some gun-control advocates are using the incident to call for new laws, but Charlotte-area gun experts say the answer is common sense and better training for instructors.

I’m not sure I understand the point of this post.
Our NC Constitution states the following:
Sec. 30. Militia and the right to bear arms.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; and, as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they shall not be maintained, and the military shall be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. Nothing herein shall justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons, or prevent the General Assembly from enacting penal statutes against that practice.
Any STATUTES written that conflicts with the above are NULL and VOID.
Therefore, a statute prohibiting ANYONE from use of a fully automatic weapon in NC is NULL and VOID.
