It's totally plausible, depending on the firearm and condition of it. There's a reason it's not a great idea to load an SKS indoors, as the simple act of letting the bolt close can set off 1-3 rounds from a stuck firing pin. No need to touch the trigger and the safety won't stop it.

That out of the way, I still can't fathom people that try to clean the firearm without checking it first. It's complacency at its finest...
"oh I've handled firearms for years, it's totally fine" *pulls trigger on a loaded weapon, because it became routine*

Ok, complacency might not be the correct word, but y'know what I mean. Laziness from becoming too comfortable with something potentially deadly, so let's ignore simple rules.

Ok so with this. I'm fine with banning weapons that have proven to be faulty like that. I'm pro second ammendment as it gets but safety functions better work I won't even load 2 guns I own cause I've read where they are prone to discharging if dropped. One has a recall on it I just never got around to and the other is old as hell and apparently banned from being imported because of it

Faulty safety mechanisms should be punishable to gun companies. I was almost killed at two cause of a faulty safety mechanism on a gun
