    In the US a gun is more likely to kill the owner or their family than anyone else.

    I’m fairly sure the vast majority of those are accidental.

      Well you’d be wrong, overwhelmingly the majority of those are suicides, followed by intentional homicides, and lastly negligence (you can try and remove the negligent party’s guilt by calling them accidents all you want, but the “accident” occurs through blatant negligence every time.)
