A cartridge is placed in the chamber of the gun (loading). The gun is prepared for firing (Cocked). Safety devices are moved into the firing position (release safety). Firearm is aimed, and the trigger pressed. This releases spring loaded parts of thee gun that strike the firing pin. The firing pin strikes the primer on the rear of the cartridge, causing the primer to to detonate, sending a spurt of flame into the cartridge case. This ignites the gunpowder in the carridge, which produces a cloud of rapidly expanding gasses that push the bullet out of the barrel. Please note that all of this required several actions to make the gun fire. So much for the "it went off by itself" argument.
