Well, that sure seems like some very large number, doesn't it? Except for the fact that there is estimated to be somewhere between 250 and 300 MILLION firearms in the USA. A quick bit of calculator-fu tells me that 50 firearms is about .00002 percent of the firearms in this country, using the smaller estimate and assuming that none of them were repeat NDs. Now, I know that the figure of 250 million firearms can be parsed down in various ways, but even after doing that stuff, it still adds up to a lot of firearms were NOT negligently discharged this week. Not to make light of a lack of firearms safety, nor of those who got shot, but that number doesn't look very big anymore...however its such a wonderful bit of hype for the antis to spew around, I'm sure they're very proud of themselves.
