Apparently, there is a well-known case discussed in first year law school wherein a burglar breaks into a home and is injured when a hair-trigger shot gun goes off. The burglar sues for injuries and wins. This is a real case (don't get me started. If it happened to me none of this injured crap, the phone call to the non-emergency line -- cause it sure would not be an emergency by then -- would be "send the coroner there is a dead body in my kitchen." No carpet in the kitchen, blood is a pain to get out of carpeting). Numerous discussions then ensue.
Apparently, recently in one class, so I heard, some bimbo said guns should be banned because, what if a kitty brushed that hair trigger and the gun went off and the kitty was killed.
I believe Hero's avatar addresses this issue quite nicely.
