"Guns accidentally shoot people."

Also:

"The only defense against a dumb person with a gun is a smart person with a gun."

In case anyone needs prodding, this is sarcasm.

that's an example of what not to do when holstering your gun.

Next, everyone look down the barrel of your guns; we're going to watch the bullets come out.
