i think when there are tens of millions of firearms this is going to happen the gun lover's don't spend a lot of time on this inconvenient truth.
Most firearm owners agree with you. When we have a free society with relatively free access to firearms, bad things will occasionally happen.
The good news is these kinds of events are rare compared to the number of firearm owners and the number of firearms in circulation.

I personally advocate that if you have children in the home at any time, you should lock up your firearms.
