    In the US a gun is more likely to kill the owner or their family than anyone else.

    I’m fairly sure the vast majority of those are accidental.

      Well you’d be wrong, overwhelmingly the majority of those are suicides, followed by intentional homicides, and lastly negligence (you can try and remove the negligent party’s guilt by calling them accidents all you want, but the “accident” occurs through blatant negligence every time.)

        You: Well you are wrong, because if you don’t count these gun deaths, then there are almost no gun deaths.

          Did you not read what I replied to?

          I’m fairly sure the vast majority of those are accidental.

          Do you define intentional suicides and intentional homicides as accidents or are you being a snarky jackass without a license?
