I watched a Cspan debate yesterday between a Brady CEO gun control guy vs. a gun rights advocate. The gun control guy through out this statistic:
'On average a gun owner dies from an accidental discharge of his firearm at a rate of 2 per day.'
He didn't cite a source. Does anyone know where that comes from?

Who gives a shite? Let's assume the stat is accurate. The better question would be how many owners die from a gun just simply laying on a table or in a drawer from an accidental discharge WITHOUT human interaction? For instance, if I an idiot cleaning my gun while it's loaded and it fires is it the gun's fault or the human's fault? Or, if I shoot my friend because I'm playing with what I thought was an unloaded gun, whose fault is that?
I own 3 guns. In 30+ years not a single one has EVER just spontaneously fired without human interaction.
