certainly all of us feel bad for the guy, but honestly what happened, whether an accident or not, is extremely serious. accidental discharge that goes through the wall and could have easily killed a neighbor? thats some serious stuff. revocation of firearm ownership isn't all that drastic, even though it was an accident. lots of people have had accidents with all sorts of things and sadly the punishment is sometimes severe. i don't even keep guns loaded in my house for this very reason, meaning no round in the chamber. it doesn't take long to rack the slide and the risk isn't worth it in my opinion.
