There are 75,000,000 or so gun owners in the USA. Of these, how many would you estimate fall into the categories of "irresponsible gun owners, vicious gun owners, senile gun owners, intoxicated gun owners, gun owners on legal drugs that affect their judgement, careless gun owners"?

Enough that over 320 people are shot every day, of which 90 are shot unintentionally. That seems like a lot. (The remainder are intentional, either by criminals or law enforcement or simple murders (which obviously makes them criminal, but are of the 'husband/wife' or 'business dispute' type shooting as opposed to organized criminals and gangs.)
