A simple device could help prevent accidental gun deaths, but most firearms don’t have it

At least 277 people have been killed since 2000 by shooters who believed the gun in their hands was unloaded because the magazine was removed.

    Well there also is proper fucking training.

    Always assume a weapon is loaded if you haven’t checked the chamber. Even then make sure you point the barrel in a safe direction.

      1. Treat every firearm as if it is loaded
      2. Never point your gun at something you are not willing to destroy
      3. Always know your target and what is behind it
      4. Never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

      Did I miss any? 🤔

      Edit: Typo.
