We live in a society built on fear. One incident happens someplace and it gets fueled. There's a fear factor of what could happen here. Oh, now that is rich. Like they aren't capitalizing on the fear factor of "something that happened someplace"!
Statistically, which do you think happens more often, burglary and home invasions or accidents with children and loaded guns left lying around? (I'm betting the former, by a lot). So whose fear is well-founded, and whose paranoia?

This is the first time I've heard a cop say, 'Don't worry-it probably won't happen to you.'
Someone should point out to him how many guns are in homes which never have accidental shootings-he could've made exactly the same remark about guns in homes.
