... and you have a more accurate description of the event.

Change the wording ... then charge the gun owner with manslaughter.

I'm a huge gun guy (went shooting with a friend this weekend) but this is worthy of punishment.

The privilege of owning a gun comes with the responsibility of being safe with it.
