Like the cop who killed his daughter who was hiding behind the curtain playing a joke on his dad. In both cases the guy was a good person with no violent past or bad intentions. If no gun was present, there would be no tragedy.

Also remember that on that very same day... millions of other gun owners went about living their lives and didnt shoot anyone.
Every time you see a cop beating someone on the news, there were thousands of cops that day that were professional and courteous doing their job.
For every kid that gets left in a hot car and dies, there were MILLIONS that day that didnt.
You're picking up on events that represent like 0.00001% of the population.
It's not the Wild West here. But if you break into someone's home, you can get killed over it. We dont have to run, and it isn't murder when it's in your state's legal definition of self defense.
