As to the danger of guns...everyone I know who owns one knows you never point it at anything unless you intend to fire it. Been around many people practicing and cleaning their guns and it's rule number one.
Still, accidents happen. You can never let your guard down when you have a weapon in your hand. Even if you are trained and a professional.
And none of that means they should be taken away.
Out of context statements, something you complain about but frequently engage in. Yes, the fact that basic safety had broken down bothered me. It should. As I said, which you failed to quote (I wonder why?) familiarity breeds complacency even in the most heavily trained people. If range safety wasn't so paramount to me then such an incident would not have bothered me to the degree it did. In such situations 100% is the only acceptable standard. A person with that mindset will get 99% and still be monstrously displeased.
Now please return to mischaracterization and blatant misrepresentation. It's about all you're good for.
