At Least Four People Have Been Shot by Toddlers Since Last Weekend
 
At Least 4 People Have Been Shot by Toddlers Since Last Weekend
By Andrea Peterson
ThinkProgress

All week, official Washington is fixated on the question of whether the 14 senators who’ve promised to filibuster any gun safety legislation will succeed in their efforts to maintain the status quo. Meanwhile, gun violence continues unabated in the rest of the nation. In a particularly tragic chapter in our nation’s struggle with such violence, at least four people — including two children — were seriously injured or killed since last weekend in accidental shootings where toddlers obtained loaded weapons...

The rest: http://www.alternet.org/least-4-people-have-been-shot-toddlers-last-weekend?akid=10314.1084699.B3ixzo&rd=1&src=newsletter822988&t=13

...if only there had a been a good toddler with a gun around.

I'm just guessing but I bet 3/4 of the shootings were by GLOCKs.

Because current gun laws make it so simple for toddlers to procure weapons.   :mental:

How many have died at the hands of abusive parents who were on drugs at the time?  How many died in auto accidents due to alcohol or drugs?  How many died just being kids?

DU on four people accidentally being shot by toddlers: Down with guns! Ban guns! Blah, blah, blah!

DU on 1.37 million unborn toddlers per year being purposely murdered by abortion: We should protect abortion and make it more accessible!

Darn near had that happen to me.    Hubby came home from hunting and left side arm on living room table.   3 year old comes out and starts playing with it.   We both hit the deck even knowing that a 3 year old could not fire it, but what if ?????

From that time on all kids were taught that all weapons were loaded even when we knew they were not.  Never had any problem with the kids bringing home friends to show off Daddy's gun to friends, they were in fear of them.  No weapons were loaded but the kids didn't know it.   To the kids the weapons were taboo and not something to even think about. Just something like the stove or sink, they knew they were there but after awhile nothing to think about of talk to their friends about.

Why are they less concerned with the carnage in Chicago? And other places with strong gun control?

It's the fault of gun-loving states Chicago is such a mess. If it weren't for them life would be perfect. </DU>

There's no political hay to be made from those deaths.

Guns don't kill people, toddlers do.

Damn, I'm disappointed in the *****. I know he reads CC. I was praying he'd challenge me. What's a guy to do? Hmm.

Hey Will, your mom Raven is a slut and she should have aborted your sorry ass. I know it had to put a damper on all the men that were using her like a door knob. Not too many people want to **** a pregnant woman, well, save their husbands. Did your dad?

Would any of you DUmb**** primitives be kid enough to waltz over here and enlighten me on why Luis Quizhpe, a law abiding citizen, is only able to defend himself with a baseball bat in the city with the strictest gun laws in the USA, against a criminal armed with a gun?

I noticed this video appears to suspiciously be missing from your island.

I'm sure they'll consider that while backing the practice of murdering a million+ every year in the US. The fear of toddlers is high on the extensive list of liberal phobias.

I know, right?  I was hoping for a KO when he got two good belts on the perp's skull with that bat, right before the perp stumbled out of there and left.
