GUN CONTROL: WILL NAIL GUNS BE NEXT?

Will the "Brady Bunch", my term for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, now take aim at nail guns? And will they call for restrictions on the size and types of nails that can be used with those guns?

A builder miraculously survived when a nail gun went off in his face, shooting the pin through the top of his mouth and behind his eye socket.
　
Los Angeles resident Victor Benavidez failed to realize he had a 3.5 inch metal pin lodged a millimeter from his brain until he felt blood running from his mouth.

He described today how he was sent flying through the air by the unexpected shot.
　
He said: 'I'm not sure what happened but as a I fell backwards the gun flipped and must have gone off again and fired a nail straight into my mouth. 'It was all very quick, I just heard "bang, bang, bang".

'It didn't hurt at all but I knew something was wrong. Then I felt something with my tongue.'
　
He couldn't speak so he had to throw his hard hat at his brother to call for help.

He added in The Sun: 'When I got to the hospital and the doctors saw the X-ray they actually thought I'd tried to kill myself by firing a nail into my head. It was a total freak accident and I'm very luck to be alive.'
　
Doctors said if it had traveled any further it would have left him permanently brain damaged, blind or dead.
　
Dr Kimberly Lee, a reconstructive surgeon at Cedars-Sinai hospital in LA, also told the newspaper: 'We used a dental extractor - there are no instruments made to take out nails. There are also no lectures given at medical school on how to remove nails.

'We removed it in one piece along the same path as it went in. Victor is extremely lucky - he is just as healthy as he was before the accident and the hole has healed perfectly.'
　
And has the accident put Victor off? No, he is now back at work at using the very same gun. 'It was a freak accident. I'm lucky to be alive,' he added.
