Some things to consider. First is the media - the headline has to draw the reader, listener, viewer in. The mere fact that the reporting is shotty at best with very little details leads people to jump to their own conclusions as we've seen on this site. Second is that MOST accidents are preventable and good sense isn't very common and had sense and decision making CAN result in unfortunate accidents. No matter what laws are there, people will break them. Education, especially our youth and newbies to the sport, and leading by example will have a better impact imho. Lastly, how many of us would be readong, watching, viewing, or analyzing the latest shooting in the "hood"? The fact that is that "hunting" accidents are so "uncommon" is what draws us in to find out and analyze what happened.
The latest 2 incidents are indeed tragic and unfortunate and my thoughts and prayers are with those affected by them.
