The only thing that can stop a bad 3 year old with a gun is a good 3 year old with a gun. Arm our toddlers today.
Don’t make fun of gun ownership like this. I’m from a third world country where innocent people gets killed by the police everyday if they don’t receive bribe from their family. I think legalizing gun ownership is the only way to fix this problem.

Trump literally in the username.
Yep checks out lol
I’m genuinely surprised when very little children manage to fire a gun. The safety is usually quite sturdy, the slide is usually far more robust than movies make it appear, and even the trigger can be hefty depending on the gun.
The gun would have to be chambered with the safety off for a three year old to pull the trigger effectively.
Which, to me, speaks of gross negligence that warrants a strong punishment.
The reason many kids shoot themselves is due to many design choices of these guns.
1- no safety, as in theory the officer’s gun should only be drawn in life or death situations.
2- a round is already chambered for the same reason as above
3- the trigger pull is probably too heavy for young children to pull it with their pointer finger. This ends up with them reorienting the gun to where the muzzle is pointed at their chest and they use their thumbs to depress the trigger.
It’s horrific and every employer whose employee’s have firearms should provide a safe of some sort and require it’s use while off duty.
The thumb on the trigger pull makes so much sense. I remember the first time I fired a pistol being surprised at how difficult it was to squeeze the trigger. I’d fired a .22 rifle quite a bit and the pistol felt ridiculous by comparison.
