Indeed. None of the three that are killed by that Georgia professor will
not, by definition, enter into the "accidental deaths by gun" column, for
instance. It's a disingenuous and meaningless comparison. Atom bombs, by the

human has died from an accidental detonation. Thus, every household should
have one.
