    Or like it’s a very bad idea to have easy access to lethal firearms for basically everyone because “mistakes” like this are bound to happen again and again, but whatever…

      Accidental gun discharges are pretty rare. In the hundreds a year. And they are almost always with negligent gun owners storing a loaded gun not in a lock box.

      It’s not a mistake, it’s willful ignorance by dumb ass fuck trumpets.

        Bro we’re humans we’re all negligent at some point, you are trying to distance yourself from these negligent gun owners but you actually can’t because your human and you make mistakes too.

          .000625%(napkin math) of gun owners experience an accidental gun discharge each year.

          It just doesn’t happen that often without gross negligence 🤷‍♂️.

            Fair enough, but i guess yeah im scared of guns and i dont like having the right to carry one. Because any of the other 400 million Americans have the same right and they might be grossly negligent and then i end up the victim of someone’s dog accidentally discharging a shotgun from the car in the lane next to me.

            I like shooting guns i go a few times a year to the shooting range, it’s always a good day and i feel good about knowing im ready to use one. I still just don’t need one in my home and I don’t think my neighbors need to be walking around with them either.

              Hey you do you and we all feel how we feel. But are you that afraid of lightning? Because we’re talking the same percentages.or kids drowning in a pool.

              Gun violence sucks and it’s dumb that we can’t have any sort of middle ground on the conversation, but getting accidentally shot is so far down on that list of things that will kill you.

        And I’m sure it’s just as high in every other country, right? Right??

          I’m not addressing that. You just want to argue against guns and are going on an unrelated tangent.

          Legally, as in words mean something, it is negligence in the majority of cases and these people will face legal repercussions because they as a matter of law have been defined at fault.

            How is that unrelated lol. Desperate to ignore reality

            Acting like hundreds of people dying a year is acceptable. Fuck off.
