Your arguments are understandable and reasonable but unfortunately are
not supported by statistics. The vast majority of gun owners know how
to handle, use and store firearms safely. The accidents are by a very,
very small percentage of owners, not a "large percentage" as you state.

The accidents are in the news every single day. Toddlers to the aged.

Happened again today in a suburb of Seattle. Dead. Every single day.

So what? People (and toddlers) have fatal accidents all the time,
and the vast majority of such incidents do not involve guns. Go
peddle your bull**** somewhere else. And just for the record, I do
think it is stupid to let a 9 year old fire an automatic weapon. Why
not blame the stupid parents and stupid instructor instead of the gun?
The instructor by the way is elligible for a Darwin award since there
will be no repeat mistake.

In this video essay, Bill takes on the National Rifle Association, who
he refers to here as "the armed bully of American politics, the
enabler of the gunfighter nation, whose exceptionalism includes a high
tolerance for the slaughter of the innocent."

The same Bill, who imported high performance Porsche that even with his
millions, last I heard, could not get permission to drive on the street.
Why does someone need a 200 mph car for the street? Bill just supports his
excesses.
