I've broken one of my own little rules about living happily on the internet.
I commented on a YouTube thread.
After pointing out the toddler stat, someone's replied that I'm blowing it out of proportion. Toddler shootings are at most a monthly occurrence. Which is of course, fine. That's the line it turns out. A child under 3 with a gun is ok if it's only once every 4 weeks.

I hope they apply the same logic to bleach. You know, leaving the bottle around with the lid off, because no kid’s going to take a swig, are they?

Can we just seal off the USA? At this rate they'll wipe each other out within a couple of years then we can send in some new colonists.

Finally, a shooter in the US shows signs of remorse.

I'm glad I dont have a gun in the house - the look my cat gives me sometimes means that I could be next if I did have a gun

I'm glad mine doesn't have opposable thumbs, or I'd have to lock up the kitchen knives. The little sh!t tries to wrap herself around my feet at the top of the stairs two or three times a week!

According to the statement, 10 gunshot victims were taken to area hospitals by ambulance, and six more arrived at emergency rooms "via private conveyance".


Now if everyone in the crowd had had guns then I am sure it would never have started - WE NEED MORE GUNS ;)
