If this happened every day it would be something to worry about. But it didn't.

There are much worse things to worry about than legal gun owners and accidents, such as criminals and crazy people with guns. And since Pandora's box can't be closed, guns are not going away, so deal with it or keep crying about it. It won't make a difference either way.
