I think people just like to slip those political jabs in wherever they can to try and pick at those of use who think the 2nd amendment has a place in a free society. I've cleaned my guns hundreds of times over the past couple of decades and never been close to being shot. It's a few standard safety rules to those who are petrified of guns and gun ownership.
eating a poisonous mushroom seems way easier. Less steps, less oversight, a calmer activity that doesn't provoke a crowd response.
but , in theory, that would also be exactly the alibi you'd want for a believable story: "gun nut shoots himself to death by accident" when you're being a sneaky vindictive government who wants to rid itself of someone.
It's kind of as easy as 'boating accident'; and whenever poison/russia is combined in a sentence it's pretty easy to make accusations given the storied history of political poisonings in that region.
