Thats some pretty dumb reasoning.
What are the chances that you'll be involved in a car accident? Why wear a seatbelt then?
Personal responsibility includes protecting yourself at all times. Why depend on the police to do that for you?
Just a few months ago I read on article about a rapist that was fatally shot by a civilian after he heard a woman screaming while walking by her house.
And you don't even HAVE to shoot him. Unless the guy is suicidal, and unless he has a gun, you can force him to surrender until the cops show up.
If you're responsible and follow the rules that have been laid out for gun owners, nobody is going to get accidentally shot. You're just throwing out another common misconception to make responsible, law abiding gun owners look bad.
