    You can’t just load and chamber and fire a gun by fucking accident. Oh whoops the slide pulled back by accident, and I accidentally had my finger on the trigger, then I accidentally pulled all the way past the resistance of the firing pin. Nope. You murdered her.

      And even if you could somehow accidentally fire a gun, that’s the definition of manslaughter anyway, so the guy is still guilty either way.

      You assume he didn’t leave his weapons loaded. And that he hadn’t modified them with a hair trigger, etc.

      This is the type of person that has an entire gun room, not just a safe or two, an entire room dedicated to guns.
