    1. Do you resist calling vehicular collisions accidents since they are called negligence?

      What events do you accept calling accidents?

    2. Hey hillbilly (a perfect person to ask) how does one accidentally pull the trigger? Maybe you thought you were holding your dick and squeezed?

    4. "Accident" is also a misnomer when applied to auto accidents. But, we've already got heavy restrictions on drivers of cars. The result is, after seat belt laws and speed limits and insurance requirements, that the numbers have been brought down about as much as they can be without interfering with people's freedom and the running of the country. Now we need to do something about guns.

    5. Mike,

      You are at least being consistent there in what you will call an accident and what you won't. Will you answer the other question Jim ignored: What would you call an accident?

    6. Pulling a trigger, is not an accident. Dick head.

    7. T, quit playing fuckin' games with me. I know what an accident is and so do you. The difference is you want to call many incidents that are really negligent fuck-ups on the part of the gun owner, accidents.
