       not suprising to me, most of those "accidents" are by people who are 
proud of their ignorance of firearms, because "guns are evil"......when i was 
6 years old, my grandfather took me out hunting the groundhogs in his paster 
with a .22 rifle.  he taught me three things that still stick, 1. NEVER 
assume a gun is unloaded, always treat it as if it was loaded, even if you 
just unloaded it.  2.  NEVER aim a gun at anything you don;t want to KILL, 
regardless of the fact it is unloaded, see rule #1, and  3.  Always point the 
muzzle at the ground and away from feet.
       By NOT teaching these things to kids, they don;t have the proper 
respect for the damage a gun can do.  They think its funny to point a gun at 
a friend and pull the trigger, they do it on tv and the people always 
live.....its a game.
       Wrong.
