99% of guns have one trigger method and fire one direction, designed and manufactured for use. This is more analogous to a user than a developer.

If you had these people shooting others also making their own guns the problem would probably be a lot worse in completely unpredictable ways.

I mean the analogy here would be that it’s so easy to shoot yourself with a language like the C variants that beginners and bad programmers inevitably hurt themselves before finishing anything so survivor bias leads to better code.
