Just a reminder that gunfire doesn't have agency, and cannot erupt. The proper phrasing here is "before people started shooting." When people get shot, a human chose to shoot them.
I agree. Passive tone is cowardice.
It is cowardly when the passive voice is used
Not all humans choose to shoot others. There is accidental discharges, random discharges, and ignorant discharges.
One year toddlers shot someone once a week in America. Toddlers don't have agency to choose to shoot someone. It is a tradgey and a failure of gun restrictions and safety.
There is accidental discharges, random discharges, and ignorant discharges.
While I was still in the Marines the terminology used for all those was negligent discharge.
There are no accidental discharges. Only negligent discharges. If your gun goes off then you are 100% responsible no mater the circumstances that caused it to do so.
Firearms do malfunction, but if you follow the rules of gun safety, you will never "accidentally" shoot someone. https://youtu.be/ADGyglYqeoM
There are rare circumstances where a discharge can be truly accidental. Older or defective designs that can cause a discharge if the gun is dropped.
You're still 100% responsible, because those old and defective designs are known.
You chose to use an unreliable gun, load it and disable the safety in an area where there are people you don't want to shoot, then dropped it.
When a toddler gets a gun and shoots someone then someone else made a choice.
It didn’t just happen
You can make a finger gun and go "pew-pew" and it's almost as dangerous as shooting with a real gun.
