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.

I own a revolver and know about the hammer. If it is in the firing position, it will NOT fall and strike the primer unless there is a malfunction in the weapon or someone pulls the trigger. Dropping the weapon will not cause the hammer to fall.

Sorry, you lose and thanks for calling me a lib (which I am not) but it indicates that you are running out of valid arguments.
