A true accidental discharge would be from a gun malfunction. The majority of guns have multiple safety feature to prevent that from happening.
That's like saying cars don't crash, bad driving decisions crash cars. Ok, but human error is a major factor that can't be dismissed. People even get accidentally shot at gun shows. The reality is the presence of guns increases the likelihood of bad things happening in a home. That's just a fact that people can weigh against the possibility of scaring off an intruder, as that is an asset of guns.

When my gun misfired I was simply loading it and closing the chamber. I didn't commit an error. The gun just discharged. The gun that shot that family friend in the head was similar.

10 States With The Most Gun Violence

Despite Donald Trump blaming Immigrants..... States populated by whites majority have the top 9 gun violence.
Demographics provided by: State and County QuickFacts

States with highest gun violence / Demographics

10. Tennessee - 81% White / 2% Hispanics population
9. New Mexico - 39% White / 47% Hispanics
8. Oklahoma - 67% White / 9.6% Hispanics
7. Wyoming - 84% White / 9.7% Hispanics
6. Arkansas - 73% White / 6.9% Hispanics
5. Montana - 87% White / 3% Hispanics
4. Alabama - 66% White / 4% Hispanics
3. Mississippi - 57% White / 3% Hispanics
2. Louisiana - 60% White / 5% Hispanics
1. Alaska - 62% White / 7% Hispanics

************
California, which isn't even in the Top 10 in Gun Violence or "Most Dangerous State" has a demographic of: 39% White / 38% Hispanics
States don't commit crimes, people do!

Just another liberal ruse to suggest that illegals and blacks do not account for most of the violent crime in America (which they do).

Are you sure you didn't have your bugger hook and the bang button?

Otherwise you need to contact the manufacturer. My guess is you have your fingure on the trigger and just didn't realize it. It is exceptionally rare for a gun to actually malfunction, unless you assembled in correctly after cleaning or didn't clean.

The gun in the home is also more likely to be used to protect the homeowner from an attack than hurt the individual in the home.

unless your gun was checked out by a pro gunsmith, i dont buy it. i have never had a gun go off without the trigger being pulled.

You can always interchange left/right in these blanket claims. I've never seen either side avoid deception when a cheap political point can be won.

I try to stay above all that childish banter

Ok, well I have. Your lack of an experience doesn't negate my actual experience. My finger wasn't near the trigger.

No they don't:

Instead you agree with skewed stats and try to justify them which IS childish banter.
