A woman in a Florida restroom was accidentally shot when someone in a nearby stall dropped her gun and it accidentally discharged. Does this mean Plaxico Burris was taking fertility drugs?

The NRA immediately issued a statement after the incident saying, “Guns don’t shoot people, slippery bathroom floors shoot people.”
