Wrong. The consequences of "playing with a gun" is never an accident.

One should never play around with guns.

Terrible negligence. I blame lack of education and TV/movies.

It's been my experience that most guns work exactly as designed. Load a round in the chamber, remove the safety, squeeze the trigger, gun goes BOOM!

Just like it's supposed to.

And if you do none of these things, gun doesn't go BOOM!

Just like it's not supposed to.

That wasn’t an accident - that was stupidity and recklessness

It would make a for a good lawsuit by the family of the deceased

Yep, unless stupidity is involved. Been there, seen it. A friend was showing off his guns during a party. "Boom!". Shotgun blast through the floor, barely missing his chopper in the garage below. He sheepishly said "It went off by itself!". Yeh, sure. Party cleared out real quick.

He’s got one of those Alec Baldwin models. So cool! Sometimes, for no reason at all, when someone pulls it’s trigger it just goes off unexpectedly.!

The only part that was accidental was that he hit her in the chest instead of the head. As he planned. The rest was on purpose.
