B. The number of accidental gun deaths per year is 1,500.
C. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner 0.0000188.

Just a little thought provoking, isn't it?

Where do non-gun owners who shoot people get their guns? They steal them from gun owners. Over 5,000 are stolen every year.

I had a gun and I never shot anyone, accidentally or otherwise. Although, there was this one guy........................................................................
