Yes, by design

I suppose that's one of the reasons that so many accidental gun deaths
occur in the US every year, yes?

Accidental shooting death statistics can be a sobering reminder of
mortality, but they are important in promoting prevention measures. For
those families dealing with the death of a loved one from an accidental
shooting, statistics can seem cold and unfeeling.

But its important to put these statistics in front of others because
they give some perspective on how big an issue accidental shooting
deaths really are in the United States.

From 2005-2010, almost 3,800 people in the U.S. died from unintentional
shootings.

We need legislation to control motor vehicles. Oh, I forgot. We've
already got that, licensing, safety inspections, government mandated
safety equipment, and so forth.
