If you pull the trigger with out intending to then it is not an accident, it is stupidity. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to pull the trigger. Any reasonable person understands that.

A gun going off is the result of one of two things. Someone pulled the trigger or there was a malfunction of the gun (which should have been discovered prior to it being loaded).

And the 2 amendment does not need supporting by me. The Bill of Rights are Rights given to us by God and only enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Congress, treaties nor laws can ever take them away from us.

You are absolutely correct. Pulling a trigger without intending to is not an “accident” it is negligence. One cannot anymore have an accident with an auto which is properly working, by yourself, unless you direct the auto improperly

For those interested here is an explanatory link:

This should help the uneducated become more aware and informed.

The 2nd amendment carries with it responsibility, much as the 1st Amendment does. You have the right to free speech, with exceptions, with numerous examples of the limits of that right.

You have the right to keep and bear (that would be carry for those who cannot speak english)arms— and it isn’t just firearms. The right to keep and bear arms is subject to their lawful application, in self defense, or in the intended defense of our nation. The last line against enemies, foreign or domestic.
Deo Vindice.

You don’t need to lecture me about the BofA.

You don’t have to “pull the trigger” to have the firearm go off. All you need is the hammer (which many STILL have and many people still have old firearms with full hammers) in the go position and drop it.

Besides that, you already saw the story above about another accident (call her husband “stupid” - go ahead). The truth is, accidents DO happen.

Your denials are typical of liberal rationale when they wring their hands that every possible thing must be done because “even 1 (death) is too many” - sorry libs, accidents happen and can never be 100% avoided.
