...that was caused by negligence has taken a defender of the RKBA. Michael D. Harmon (described as a champion of conservatism and of the RKBA) was accidentally shot by a teenager to whom he was showing a pistol which evidently was loaded at the time. More here: Handgun discharges, killing Press Herald columnist M.D. Harmon at his home - The Portland Press Herald
It really is a shame that this happened because it would have been easily preventable had he just checked the action and assured the pistol was empty before he handed the gun to the teen, had he made sure to be off to the side or behind the teen but still in easy arms reach of the gun, and had he made sure the teen knew not to point it in an unsafe direction or place his finger on the trigger and of course had the teen handled the firearm safely. We can all make mistakes and there is probably not one firearms enthusiast among us who can truly say he never violated at least one aspect of firearms safety at one time or another; yet regardless of none of us being perfect, we must strive for perfection when it comes to safety with firearms.
While his family, friends and loved ones are mourning his loss, some disrespectful bastards on the left reportedly have been applauding his demise (source).
All the best,
