If you leave a loaded gun laying around and a kid picks it up and shoots himself or someone else that is not an "accident." It is the predictable result of the gun owner being a fucking asshole.
But "accident" sounds so much better to the denizens of Gun Nut Nation.
Ok, so the comment about hoping they shoot themselves by negligence and die is legitimate then?
You've misunderstood. That the vast majority of "accidental discharges" are more accurately termed "negligent discharges" is an issue of fact. Guns don't fail at the rate that americans who've shot themselves and others claim they do (they hardly fail at all)..when they call it an accidental discharge. It'll keep you out of jail or civil court though...and that's why it's the go to bullshit response.
