SO if there are smaller ones floating around near us we would probably over look them. However, our area of the galaxy isn't really old enough for many to have formed...
I wouldn't worry about it though.
PS: Like every year atleast one person gets killed or hurt from dumbasses shooting guns into the air on 4th of july here in Albuquerque.
Besides, we keep a pretty good watch on the stars around us. I'm sure if any one of them fall off the radar some alarm bells will go off somewhere.

the Sun is too small to turn into a black hole and so are lots of the stars
around us. what we might actually have to worry about though is the
possibility of a white or black dwarf colliding with the Sun.
