Bang bang you're dead
I just read an article about a pregnant woman who was accidentally killed while looking at a friend's gun collection. I was shocked on so many levels.
First of all, the article appeared to be written by someone who had no writing skills at all. It jumped from one topic to another and back again, listing events and comments in some kind of random order, one might expect to hear, not from a professional news service, but between two gossips over the backyard fence.
This is a serious matter. It is manslaughter, whether it was an accident or not.
Guns in the hands of the wrong people are much more dangerous than other toys people feel they are entitled to own and play with.
I think when someone is shot at, or with, a gun, then both the person using the gun and the person the gun is registered to should be held accountable to the full extent of the law. They are equally guilty in my eyes.
Cause of death? Didn't lock the gun cabinet. Didn't OWN a gun cabinet. Goofed. Accident. Anger.
It doesn't really matter to the dead.
