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

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.

“One cannot anymore have an accident with an auto which is properly working, by yourself, unless you direct the auto improperly”

Once again, this is not 100% true.

If that auto is running, even if you put the brake on (which you SHOULD - yes, that is taught), it may slip and roll. Heck, it may roll NOT running. It doesn’t matter that it’s “not properly working” (i.e., weak brake) - no-one can be up on everything all the time. That is the point. You simply cannot erase every accident (and that’s what they are, despite your protestations and accusations of “negligence” or “stupidity”). We are not gods.
