Fatal gun accidents are at an unprecedented low.

Interesting. Could it be due to many states requiring safety courses before issuing an LTC or an FID? Just guessing.

The fatal accident rate for firearms has been dropping for a long time, long before mandatory training.

There are likely many contributory factors, from better gun mechanics to the NRA pushing gun safety, to better medical treatment.

The chart starts in 1933. Early data is sparse. The latest year on the chart is 2017.
