    Guns do not require someone with bad intentions use them in a bad way. A 4 year old near me blew her head off while her family was in the next room. Plenty of other people with no bad intentions have liked themselves and others with guns.

      A 2 year old was killed in a car accident near me. We should get rid of cars.

          It was a wrong way driver. I can’t help but feel like the kid could have done better.

            A 2 year old is not going to kill themselves operating a vehicle, unlike a gun. Even left unattended, they maybe put it in neutral.

              Pretty sure I’ve heard of at least a couple cases where small children accidentally knocked a car into drive and caused serious damage, but that’s not really the point I was making…

                Cars are still designed to keep the occupants safe during a collision. Toddler is going to live no matter what way that car is pointed, unless there’s a second car.

                Accidental gun discharges don’t need a passing second gun to be fatal.

      Guns do not require someone with bad intentions use them in a bad way.

      Let’s rephrase - someone with bad intentions or terrible safety practices.
