(117 posts)"Gun accidents are the lowest since 1903. Even one is too many, and the few that happen is national news."
the reason for that is because they are so rare. think about it, everyday occurrence never make the news. however rare and obscene actions are part of the daily news.
what i mean is, a child being shot is so rare it makes the news. while average day occurrence are never mentioned.like me taking a piss doesn't make the news, neither does me going to work on time. these are expected outcomes. while people being shot or injured are not.
the news reports on stuff that is shocking/unexpected. not normal day to day stuff.
i do agree that there is more we can/should do to prevent accidental shootings.
the nra's Eddie eagle program is a good start.
not perfect but could be better. maybe the Brady campaign, every town for gun safety, and moms demand action can help.
