    It is never an accident when you pick up a gun in a political argument.

    If you pick up a gun and don’t clear it. You are negligent.
    If you point a gun at someone. You are negligent.
    If you are not taking any safety precautions when handling a firearm. You are negligent.

        Not in Texas apparently.

        Reminds me of back in the 1950’s and before when getting black out drunk and running over someone was an “accident”.

      I phrased is like this as I know that in some situations it might be needed to pick up a gun to defend yourself from harm.

      However, no political argument should ever devolve into the need for guns.
