Where have you heard this supposed logic of "I'll never hurt myself" in regards to handling a gun? Sure, I guess somebody totally untrained may have that mindset and really believe such a thing, but otherwise that is not the case. If you have ever had a firearms course or hunter safety course of any sort (which I somehow doubt) then you would know that the one point that instructors belabor is that if you mishandle a gun you will absolutely hurt or kill yourself or someone else. For these courses aimed at non-law enforcement users of guns (e.g. people at shooting range, hunters, etc.), this is covered exhaustively and then is put into practice via simulations with fake guns - at least this is the experience with courses I have had.
Yeah, it's horrible when someone does something as fucking asinine as giving a little girl an Uzi to shoot, or some shitty parent leaves a loaded gun out in the open for a kid to find and blow his own head off, but realize that people who responsibly own guns are equally as appalled when someone does something so markedly ignorant.
