This is great. As you know one of the libs biggest arguments is if there are more weapons then accidents increase. I am sure it goes up some but it would be interesting to see how much accidents have gone up while crime has come down.

Is there any statistics on weapon accidents?

Actually, one would think that with less artificially imposed social stigma, the greater prevalence of individual arms would allow for a much greater familiarity with said arms leading to LESS accidents rather than more.

Especially if any kind of formalized training was to be considered "good manners" again. I've thoroughly enjoyed the tactical classes I've taken over the years.
