    Keep in mind that the vast majority of irresponsible acts do not result in natural consequences out of sheer luck. Like most accidental discharges while cleaning don’t hit another person. Most unsecured firearms don’t result in kids accidentally killing one another.

    The level of negligent behavior is much higher than homicide stats would have you believe.

      Totally. But is anyone honestly suggesting that over 50% of all owners have had an accidental discharge?
