I think these people do more damage to the image of gun owners than the most radical anti gunners, especially when the media jumps all over stories like these.

It seems that the media jumps on any negative story involving a gun these days. I was listening to the radio a few minutes ago and in the hourly 3-5 minute segment of news I heard about two shootings that I believe would not have been reported on the radio just a few years ago. Maybe it is a "jump on the bandwagon" thing. Maybe it is not news if it is not bad. There are instances of good uses of guns being reported, but they are far outweighed by the negative reports.
I don't recall hearing about gun cleaning accidents lately, but this is Texas and we are pretty gun friendly. Plus, accidents are not that much news to us.
