Bullets & Burgers – Fries? “No, I’ll Have A Side Of AK-47’s”

In White Hills, AZ, about halfway between Kingman and Las Vegas, NV, there’s a place of business called “Bullets and Burgers”. It’s the burger joint/machine gun range where a 9 yr. old girl shot her instructor to death using an Uzi sub-machine gun.

Charles Vacca, 39, of Lake Havasu City was shot last Monday morning, airlifted to a medical center in Las Vegas and pronounced dead shortly before 9 p.m.,

It’s since been labeled an accident but surely the correct finding should have been an “accident waiting to happen.” How in the world was a 9 yr. old girl ever allowed to fire such a powerful weapon as an Uzi on fully automatic?  It appears that in Arizona its perfectly o.k. Bullets and Burgers allows children 8 and older to shoot firearms as long as their parents(????) are there to supervise. What happened to taking kids to Mickey D’s for a Happy Meal? These parents thought she should shoot a machine gun?

With your burger, you get a choice of machine guns not soup, salad or fries

In reading the story about this tragic event I clicked on a link that took me to the actual website of Bullets and Burgers and what I saw there absolutely astounded me. It’s a private outdoor range that boasts of a “unique 'Desert Storm' atmosphere and military style bunkers.”  Also “Our guests have an opportunity to choose from a wide variety of machine guns. Our 50 Cal. selections includes the Barrett Sniper Rifle, the Browning BMG .50 Cal ('the deuce'), and the Desert Eagle.”

And, that’s not all as “you will be treated with the World Famous All American Hamburger, fresh cut french fries, and a drink. The All American Burger is guaranteed to be the best hamburger you have ever eaten.”  This range offers tour packages out of Las Vegas tailored to meet the dreams of every gun nut including the Extreme Sniper Adventure.

All kinds of different packages to choose from at Bullets and Burgers

Bullets and Burgers offers several packages ranging from Bronze at $199 to Ultimate Platinum at $999. The Platinum deal provides you with 8 Machine Guns of your choice including the Barrett 50 Cal.

A spectacularly tone-deaf NRA Women Tweet 2 days after the shooting

Less than two days after the 9-year-old girl in Arizona accidentally shot and killed Charles Vacca, the National Rifle Association touted new ways for children to "have fun" at shooting ranges. The story linked in the tweet lists a number of new and colorful targets that it says will engage young shooters who have grown bored with the standard bull's-eye. Boggles the mind how they can be so tone-deaf!

Personally, I think I’ll stick to 5 Guys and In ‘n Out for burgers while were in the USA!
