Of course there is and I was not trying to equate the two scenarios. Only trying to make a point.
Also a lot of people are unaware that many “innocent” people are shot by police every year during a traffic stops and often because of improper gun owner behavior.
I think there are very, very few of those. They tend to make national news.
Perhaps a couple of them in a year.
I follow this assiduously, usually a couple of hours a day, almost every day.
Shootings of innocent gun owning citizens because of poor gun handling at traffic stops is a very rare event.
If you are talking about poor behavior generally, sure, that is more common. But you mentioned gun owners.
