  Funny and very disappointing at the same time how he got actual politicians to endorse training for 4 year olds to shoot bad guys.

guns don't kill people, toddlers do

Jesus Fucking Christ! Someone do something about that toddler!

96
- That's what the toddler wants.

  If we change our way of life, the toddler wins.

Every sixty seconds, a woman in Britain gives birth. She. Must. Be. Exhausted.

58
- Why would she be exhausted when she has the machine that goes PING! After all it's the doctors who do all the work since they're the experts.

And her name is Maggie Simpson.

- Her name is Maggie Simpson. Her name is Maggie Simpson.

Imagine what he's going to be like when he hits his rebellious years.

42
- Toddlers are plenty rebellious already, it's just a different kind. Teenagers rebel against authority. Toddlers rebel against their own existence.

He probably doesn't remain that large, he is a toddler

35
- He remains at small but growing rapidly

- He must have grown a lot in two years

Just stop selling the kid ammo. Problem solved.

33
- You say no to that cute little face!
  
  23
  
  I would easily say no to his face... but he has a guna nd is willing to use it.
  
  14
- All I'm saying is that if bullets cost $5,000 I bet that toddler would have a hard time affording them

The solution for a toddler with a gun is an adult with a gun. Or something. Idk, I'm not american.

25
- You've got the spirit though

According to my quick search, it should be Not more than 5 years into the deaths by gun-wielding toddler surpass the deaths of 9/11.

Edit: I was wrong. Here are the fruits of my research:

Toddlers: about 21 deaths per year, would take until 2142 to surpass the 9/11 deaths

Kids 12 and below: 40 deaths per year, would take until 2075 to surpass those deaths

Children 17 and below, when counting accidents only, would take until 2029

22
- Toddlers: about 21 deaths per year
  
  Last I checked, there was more weeks than that in a year. Did those fuckers in HR go and change it?

  Shot vs deaths

Article was published in 2017, and gun deaths among US kids has increased 50% since 2019.

2023 update from a different gun research group: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/04/06/gun-deaths-among-us-kids-rose-50-percent-in-two-years/

We live in hell.

- Glad to see their aim got better

- Somebody really needs to do something about this kid.

this joke is funny here but it gets really sad when twitter and everyone repeats the same “original” knee slapper when this stat continues to be true, month after month after month 😒

11
- I used to be an kneeslapper like them. Then I got shot by a toddler.
  
  16
  
  Right in the knee?

- Columbine opened up my eyes about violence on innocent people.
  
  Sandy hook made me realized literally the 2nd Amendment is more important than the lives of children.
  
  If I had a genie, I'd thanos snap every gun in America. But until then, I'm gonna stay strapped and lol at the infinite sadness of our dystopian nightmare.

  Look at Rambo over here, thinks he can take on The Toddler

  Well that's the fucked part of it. There's more of them than people. I hate to be that asshole who says "you're only hurting the bad guys with gun control" because theres issues with that argument, but in a lot of ways it applies to the US just because theres so fucking many. You can't get rid of them.
  
  Take away them away and these two groups will still have them:
  
  Criminals (both violent and, many newly created, non-violent criminals)
  
  Cops (violent state-sanctioned gang with badges)
  
  Not sure that's really a good outcome either.

Toddler army UNITE

Why don't Americans simply not have a larger toddler eat this trigger happy rugrat?

6
They will grow out of it.

Talk about the Terrible Twos!

After 2 years are they still a toddler?

5
- Toddler is age 1-3, so they are just about done.

  I bet he'll be able to retire at 3 years old with this many jobs

Whoever said taking candy from a baby was easy must not have been American

Not a very good accuracy, shooting ranges need to offer child discounts, so they could practice more

Jesus Christ! And I thought the Uvalde police were bad!

Is this another edition of The Simpsons did it first?

They should probably arrest that toddler then...

The anti-gun propaganda isn't even clever. It's completely transparent that it's not about safety at all.

-23
- You gotta be fucking dense to think that this is a normal thing. This is not normal that toddler kill anyone with a gun. If stating a statistic like that make you react like you did, you have a mental problem.
  
  How can it not be about safety when children kills other people by finding a gun laying around?
  
  Keep doing the mental gymnastics, you are winning the gold medal and breaking every record.
  
  3
- Nobody said anything anti-gun. This is a legitimate statistic.
  
  If it feels anti-gun to you, it's probably your conscience asking you if this is an acceptable side effect of unlimited gun rights. Maybe listen to that voice and think of an answer to that question.
