Silence from the "guns don't kill people" crowd.

The device should be checked to ensure its not a malfunction.

Oh, for fun! Aren't they training these gun-worshiping weirdos that making use of the safety is a sound practice?

Police determined that the shooting was the result of a freak accident.

Hey now, he may be dumb but calling him a freak is ... oh, never mind.
