First, let me answer your question: exactly none.

Now let me ask you a question: What possible difference does it make?

Unlike some internet posters, I am perfectly capable of analyzing data outside my personal experience and coming to a rational conclusion. I've never slept with Liv Tyler, but I expect it would be fun, my lack of personal experience not withstanding.


The difference is.........I've already said what the difference is. Re-read the thread. Financial motive is overwhelming. That and the opportunity to cop-out of taking personal responsibility for one's own actions are why civil lawsuits such as these get filed. How many responsible shooters and hunters have never had a problem? Also......I'm sure there have been accidental shootings with Remington 700's where the shooter admitted that he/she had his/her finger on the trigger when they shouldn't have. Most of these don't even get reported due to the embarrassment....unless somebody gets shot. I'd venture to say that a lot of AD's go unreported because the shooter knows that he/she monkeyed with the trigger and didn't realize he/she didn't know what he/she was doing until his/her rifle went off unexpectedly. Have you "analyzed" all of those also?

And why is it that your analysis is much better than mine simply because you reached a different conclusion?

ETA: Why do you think it is that the trigger pull on most mass-produced firearms is absolutely horrendous? It is mostly by design....wouldn't you agree? Why is that?
