but I just don't understand how seeing and listening to somebody on TV passing gas can be sexually arousing. That's a mind-boggler for me. But, as I said, to each his or her own, whatever floats your boat, different strokes for different folks, ok, enough references. I don't think "flatulence porn" is wrong per se, I just don't get it.

Guns don't just discharge by accident. People pull the trigger accidentally, but they don't just "go off". A gun is a tool, nothing more. It can be used for good, it can be used for bad, or it can not be used. The military used to refer to unintentional weapons discharges as "accidental discharges", but they've changed it to "negligent discharges" now. That's appropriate. The problem isn't the gun, it's the idiot who is being careless.

Most people who die by the gun in the US deliberately take their own lives, and guns don't CAUSE suicide. Homicides are a minority of firearms deaths, and negligent discharges cause a tiny, tiny minority of fireams deaths in the US annually. Most accidental deaths in the home occur in the bathroom, and there are a LOT of them every year, more than all of the homicides, if not all firearms deaths total.
