- oneplane 5y agoThat's like saying crime is much less common amongst people who aren't in jail. If people follow the rules, and also try to be civil in general, and just enjoy guns, you get a combination of foresight, expectation and planning. Usually, when something goes wrong (be it 'being the baddies' or just accidentally have your children shoot themselves because you keep a loaded firearm in your nightstand) I'd expect it to be unplanned, unexpected and a lack of thinking. And therein lies the problem: we cannot assume everyone has the same skillset, same mental capacity and the same outlook.
