Sport is dangerous. Some more dangerous than others. And shooting is a very, very safe sport, but sometimes, accidents do just happen.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Whatever the outcome is when a loaded gun is pointed at someone, it isn't an accident...

No, it’s the modern disease that there is always something or someone culpable…

Been there, seen that.
We were at a pistol match try out -El Presidente- after the ban using airsoft pistols.
Shooter knocked out all the targets and was so excited that she turned back to face us all -muzzle sweeping us. We had all hit the ground.
Similar incident with a completely new shooter in the States who we foolishly gave a live Glock. After the first shot she turned round to face us. Looked even more surprised to find us on the floor. This bought in the one round only rule on semi's...

Modern disease?
Actually, I'm quite glad that when something really bad like this incident, (or a plane/train/motorway crash) occurs, every effort is made to discover who/what caused it...
