Re: Man dies demonstrating the safety on his gun
Main question, other than the obvious:
What firearm was it?
Was the safety actually on?

It is sometimes a pity that firearms typically don't do anything to enhance the safe practices of their users.

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Re: Man dies demonstrating the safety on his gun
Inaccuracy: "accidentally" kills himself. Anyone pointing a gun to his head and pulling the trigger, especially on a gun which he seems to have known was loaded, has not done anything accidentally. He accidentally overestimated his intelligence.
