      Its actually a very common problem. Gun nuts all think they are John McClane and need to keep one in the chamber at all times. They remove the magazine but never properly run the action and yeah. Its especially a problem with glocks because disassembly actually involves squeezing the trigger.

      Responsible gun owners are only slightly more common than good guys with a gun.

        Most people I’ve met really should not have guns. And don’t, as far as I know.

          Even in America, the vast majority of people don’t own a gun. Something like 70%.

            Still, only the US has an annual toddler/dog gun killing rate (as in the toddler/dog shooting somebody else).

            Also 44% of Americans live in a household where a gun is present.

              Both those statements track, more or less, since the guns are usually owned by one person in the house.
