More people own guns now than ever before, so you might think that accidental and negligent shootings with firearms would be at an all-time high. In fact, the opposite has happened. Actually, I am pleased to see ownership spreading, even among groups that have long eschewed firearms ownership.I hope they will learn , and be less influenced by ignorance and propaganda.There has been a growth among the black community , gay community and even (strangely) liberals.

Yep. Firearm accidental deaths are at the lowest levels ever. Of all accidental deaths, firearms account for 0.3% of that total in 2011.
Of course not. It doesn't fit their narrative so, as always, they will ignore inconvenient fact and continue to make spurious, asinine statements.
I support the right to own guns. I would point out, however, that a great number of guns are being purchased by owners who have more than one - so it would make sense that the ratio of accidents would decline - a multiple gun accident would be near impossible.
There will be few posting here that will try to dispute that using source such as MJ, but I have noticed those in the business posting on here are completely in agreement with their observation of your statement... that and there is a vast increase in the diversity of new gun owners and those seeking training.
