Something else to consider is that the guy is ASSUMING that most of the hunters are out there drinking and just blasting away at anything that tickles their fancies...

Let's see - In a city of 600,000 people, what sort of death rate would one have per day? What number of assaults, etc.?

Firearms accidents are very high profile news, simply because there aren't that many of 'em.
