Also a story about 2 months ago about a police officer (gun expert, right?) who left a gun in a glove compartment... his son found it, and killed his sister with it while he was running an errand in a nearby store.

Anyway, every month or so there's a headline about someone accidentally killing someone with a gun... Gun advocates typically will use the analogy of "well, why don't we ban knives too? If someone's going to kill someone, they're going to use whatever means necessary..." There seems to be a lot more accidental shootings than accidental knifings.
