    I don’t think waving a gun around and blocking in a car is accidental.

      The intention is to stop criminals from leaving a crime. Citizens arrests in america are a thing, and some glorify the idea.

      In america, guns are tools like forks and knives. Keep em on your hip, forget they are there type of thing. Other countries would grab a bat or stick, americans grab guns. Its intimidation either way but when you mishandle a stick nothing happens.

      Mishandling a firearm happens to every firearm owner at least once, and mishandling a firearm can result in unintended death and destruction.

        In the US (including Colorado), citizens arrests are only legal for felonies. Last I checked hopping a fence isn’t a felony so blocking them in and waving a gun is just a multitude of gun crimes and kidnapping charges even if he didn’t shoot one of them.

        It sounds like the argument you made is to limit the use of firearms to reduce the amount of accidents.
