I’m sure this is officially true, but I’m more skeptical about whether it actually is. I suspect the rate of gun accident reporting into the early 20th century was really quite low, even among prominent people. Of course, what Burr did was somewhat more deliberate.
You’d think the guys at ESPN would be all over that shit.
