Welp, time to ban dogs.

Or at the very least, don't call them Trigger.

The sad part is we just kill each other regardless of the means.

Dogs being living creatures vs a gun being an inanimate object that cannot operate by itself you are correct.

Leave dogs out of it.

Frying pans kill people.

No they don't.

I just wasted 15min of my life googling up freak accidents with frying pans and the only thing I found is that teflon may poison pet birds.

Avalanches kill people

They shoot avalanches you know!

I'm from the Alps remember

It's an established doctrine that you can wipe out a company of men by a well placed mortar hit on a mountain to triger an avalanche.
Terrible way to go. A bullet is fast, but an avalanche will burry you in just enough snow to slowly compress your chest so you can only take small shallow breaths and you start loosing oxygen internaly even before that small pocket of air runs out of O2.

And that's why I don't ski

And they shoot avalanches for controlled triger. Before enough snow accumulates to make a nasty avalanche they close of the area and fire a mortar round into the mountain to star a more harmless localised avalanche.

I don't believe that has ever been a problem at any of the New England ski slopes. Our mountains are just too small!

Neither in Slovenia to be honest.
All ski resrts are either up a hill near urban areas or on plateus, rarely 1500m above sea level, while Swiss or French resorts are frequently above 2000m and get more snow. Not to mention now we get the same amount of snow per season what we got per month 20 years ago.

Avalanches are the hikers danger here, not so much skier

President Obama has given an emotional speech about tightening controls on gun purchases in the US.
He said he was using his presidential powers because Congress had failed to act.
The plans include wider background checks on buyers of firearms, in a series of measures to attempt to address gun violence.
At one point, the president appeared overwhelmed, as he listed some of the mass shootings that had taken place in America.

I suspect this may become his legacy. I'm not an American citizen but I really don't perceive this as an attack on the constitutional right to bear arms.
