If you want to own guns then you should accept the fact that you risk having your head blown off in the middle of the night by a SWAT team. Just as the car has introduced the risk of being killed in a trafic accident the gun has introduced new risks. If society dosen't like the risks then it can opt to ban the technology.
Except that getting killed in a traffic accident IS an accident (mostly :) while having black clad Fed's storming into your house was _consciously_ decided by them, because THEY have a problem with YOUR guns (?!)...
In> I think the original point was that they MIGHT storm into your house In> by mistake (say, because they incorrectly accepted a informant's In> story). Therefore, it is truly a mistake. Well, not really. It would be severe case of neglegence which is not the same as a mistake. When you drive, you have to prove that you know what you are doing by getting a driver's licence. If you are a SWAT guy and some informer would come along and say "This and that person is a terrorist, I know for sure" and you go into that house and shoot everything that moves, well, doesn't sound much like an accident to me...
