Tristan SnellIn America, a toddler has shot someone with a gun, every week, for 2 years straight.
Yes, you read that correctly.

@tristansnell *confused European sounds* wait… a toddler can shot someone with a gun?
Evelyn@lanodan @tristansnell Yes. As soon as their hand muscles are well developed enough to pull the trigger. More likely once they’re actually strong enough to lift the gun itself, but that’s not strictly necessary.
It happens all the f*cking time.
Some states & municipalities have laws about keeping guns safely stored; but in lots of places it’s perfectly legal to leave your loaded gun just sitting on out a coffee table or somewhere.
Sometimes I hate it here.
@gorfram @tristansnell I guess it's a bit like how toddlers can sometimes pull a cooking pot/pan and hurt themselves.
At least now easily removable handles are a thing.

I still turn the handles to the back/side of the stove. I was taught this in school. My “baby” is almost 26 and I never have any small children around. Why are we more careful with knives and hot pans than we are with loaded firearms?
