      You saying this in this scenario is the reason why we’re so divided. You try to pervert fair arguments and make them seem absurd.

      These are not the issues the democrats are targeting in wanting to solve when they want to ban semi-autos, and you know it.

      If the 3 yo instead stabbed the 1 year old, would that make a difference? Should we start banning household knives?

    To the rest of the world, this would be an exceedingly rare headline.

    For Americans, it is just any other Tuesday.

    American solution: put the 3yo in prison for forced labour and arm all 1 year olds so they can defend themselves.

    the 2 common culprits in all these horrible stories are: 1) human stupidity 2) gun proliferation. solving the first would require eugenism. solving the second is a big american no-no. So don’t call it horrible, just live with it. It’s just a normal by-product of american culture.

    lock the parents up and get that kid some lifelong counseling.

    as a gun owner… I find not locking up your weapons abhorrent.
