The use of the term “accident” when talking about firearms makes no sense.
That gun did exactly what it was designed to do when you load it, point it at a human being and when you pull the trigger. That’s not an “accident”, it’s negligence.
As far as the question some of you are asking regarding how exactly can these low IQ barbarians possibly resist invasions from mightier nations, there are two answers:
Lack of moral conviction by the invading party. In the case of the US it’s hard for an American army to win a war with no defined objectives, no clear exit strategy, no clear definition of what victory actually looks like and a refusal to use all means at your disposal to destroy your enemy. The US could easily wipe out that entire region and make it glow in the dark if it wanted, but Americans and westerners in general, unlike their enemies, have too many moral qualms when it comes to destroying innocent lives.
The equalizing power of firearms is so great that even if the hands of the most barbaric, low IQ, subhuman scum in the world they still give anyone with a will to fight and resist a fighting chance to overcome their invaders. Assuming the invader army isn’t willing to completely annihilate every last man, woman and child in your country you have a chance against them if, and only if, you have guns. You don’t even have to be very good with them, and you might kill some of your own people negligently, but you won’t be conquered.

"accident" is referring to what the person did, not what the gun did

Guns don’t do anything on their own. That’s the point.

If it does that without you or someone else pulling the trigger then you have a very, very defective gun.

Why are you making up a narrative where people are blaming the gun? It was an accident that happened because of negligent gun handling.

I’m not the one making it up. This is a common talking point amongst firearm instructors. I’ve been hearing that line from people with far more experience than me for many years.
It also makes sense.
Accidents refer to unforeseen, unintended and unwanted events that are not caused by humans. Look up the definition of the words, it will help.
Accidents tend to imply that nobody is to blame. There’s a reason the word is used sparingly in legal contexts.
The man loaded a gun, pointed at his friend and pulled the trigger. All those things didn’t happen “by accident”, they were done consciously and with purpose by a human mind.
In the gun world there are no accidental discharges, there are only negligent discharges.
Ps: you most also not own or be very familiar with guns. Most gun owners are painfully aware of how often guns are blamed for violence and deaths in ways cars and other deadly tools are not. Even people who think they can reduce “gun violence” through legislation often forget to see what happens to “knife violence” and “hand violence”.

My understanding of your comment is that you're arguing against viewpoints and opinions you have come across other places, which is a kinda weird thing to do.
Can you point out which of these definitions you have cherry picked to fit your argument, ignoring the rest including "an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance"?

"There are no traffic accidents, the car did exactly what it was designed to do hurr durr"
