Gun culture. If it's not the guns that kill people, it's the toddlers, presumably? Or is it those who perpetuate the culture?

1. Clearly there are not enough good toddlers with guns.

Inexcusable, unfathomable, just sheer horror at this.

2. The nutters will just tell you

That these childrens' lives are the price we have to pay for our freedom to unfettered gun ownership.

3. If you have kids, keep your guns locked the fuck up!

They are not play things!

5. exactly right

Very disappointed to see people in this thread talking about more toddlers with guns and unfettered access to firearms. There are a thousand ways a toddler can kill/injure themselves, parents must be held responsible.

4. I can't help thinking that some of these kids were unwanted. People are horrible sometimes.

At best you can say these parents didn’t value human life enough.

6. Stupid to leave a round in the chamber with small kids in the house.

My small built female roommate awhile back could barely rack the slide on my Glock-17 at the time, no way a toddler could.
