If someone goes to a rifle range and uses a rifle, a deadly weapon, he or she will use it with care and responsibility, knowing that, if there is an accidental discharge which kills or maims someone else, the defence that "I didn't see him" or "he should have been wearing a flak jacket or other body armour" or "he should have been wearing hi vis" will not prevail. Even the defence that the victim should not have been there won't work as the person with the rifle must ensure that it is only discharged in a safe manner.
When people drive large deadly lorries on the roads that should also take care to avoid hurting or killing anyone around them.
