My relatives are either wildly successful (brain surgeon, chemist, car dealer owner, private school chancellor) or bums. Please don't mistake "bum" for "poor," however. My grandmother-in-law (I think that's the proper term) basically has two houses in California that she bought with inherited money. For one reason or another, my step-father's dad fumbled on his will and gave all the money to her until she saw fit to give it to their children. Well, it turns out she thought "never" was an appropriate time frame. Worst of all, she drops in unexpectedly and tries to pretend like nothing is wrong. She lives like a millionaire. I went to one of her houses once and it was a mansion - in San Francisco. There was a pool on the roof and even 5 years ago she had a flat 55 inch television in every main room.

She brings used pencils as gifts and mails $5 gift cards.

I think she's just a real life troll.

If you had a gun, this never would have happened.

I lived with some ROTC guys growing up. One accidentally fired off an AK round sophomore year, and another accidentally shot a pistol into our floor (we had downstairs neighbors) that same year.

Junior year I was at a friend's house and a guy shot a pistol into the floor (same thing, downstairs neighbors).

In high school a close friend of mine shot his friend while playing with a gun. Kid didn't die fortunately.

I can't find more recent numbers, in but in 2000 there were 23,237 accidental gun shootings.

Yup. Nothing to fear from mass proliferation of guns. Nothing at all.

Which is why fear or at least mild concern over such things is also not automatically irrational.

Sure. My friend from high school who was shot in the head in another room while drunk idiots in the next room aged with their guns would have had no reason to be afraid. After all, as far as she knew the guns were in a closet somewhere.

She would have been irrational to be concerned (up until her face was destroyed, I guess).
