Still "somewhat regularly".
The simple truth is that an accessible gun has a higher chance of being abused or involved in an accident than one that is locked in an arsenal or doesn't exist in the first place.
Even in law enforcement, even though they often need guns, no matter what country, guns are abused regularly.
Which reminds me of the video of an FBI officer that accidentally discharged his weapon while break dancing.
- turk73 7y agoThe word you are searching for is "armory." An arsenal is where military weapons go to get refurbished. Just because some item is misused does not mean it lacks utility to others. I don't get the hate for guns given how guns have liberated the lower classes starting in the Middle Ages. Guns played a huge part in the successful formation of the United States. They play a critical role in keeping the peace to this day. Citizens being armed keeps the balance of power at least a little more honest, although admittedly I think we are reaching a tipping point where Americans are either going to have to demonstrate some fortitude or accept a much more encumbered form of citizenship. We are becoming subjects to an oligarchy is how it seems to be playing out here right now. We have a lawless elite that wishes to subjugate us permanently. We'll see.
