The NRA has options.

They can follow the most classic model, and blame the instructor. "Swift Boat" him, find 3 little girls who will say he molested them, and infer the little girl was defending herself in the best tradition of American firearms. That model was used shamelessly by some of the most respected American politicians.

She can say that she saw a quail fly in front of the guys face, and imply she was as drunk as a Vice President.

How 'bout the Twinkie defense? I didn't know it was loaded. I thought he was grabbing for my privates.

It is a sad tragedy, I'll admit, and my heart goes out to him, his family and her. And Americans have a way of trivializing and minimizing responsibility for these things. The fact is a pretty good system for teaching how to handle firearms broke down when someone decided a 9 year old needed to know how to use an UZI. Stupidity beyond belief, worthy of a Darwin award.
