It’s true: unintentional child shootings in the United States are no laughing matter — yet somehow, States United to Prevent Gun Violence managed to inspire plenty of jokes with its misfire of a tweet.
A toddler has now shot a person every week in America for two years straight.
Yes, you read that correctly. https://t.co/q4mZav7Nl7 pic.twitter.com/SpoH2Mm7d9

That’s the problem: everyone did read that sentence correctly, and they all thought the same thing.
Who is this toddler and what can we do to stop it.

Someone should probably arrest the little bastard then, shouldn't they? #YouHadOneJob

No idea. If I'd have seen him, I'd be dead now I'm guessing.

Someone really needs to stop this toddler before it kills again.

So he's killed over 100 people at this point? That toddler is a menace. Minor or not, I say we arrest him.

@loudlysilent That's one busy three year old.

Clearly, we need to outlaw toddlers.

@cathyby Why has nobody disarmed this toddler? Surely he can't get too far?

Should've taken the gun from the toddler after he shot the first person. WHERE WERE THE PARENTS!?!?!?1!

@bclevinger I think it's about time we have a toddler registry so we can keep track of where the real dangers are.

@AhoyLemon Once again the toddler community leaders have failed to condemn these attacks, not that the pro-toddler media cares

That map certainly does make Georgia look bad, even if it led other states in shooting incidents by only one.

I think the main question here is how does this toddler know all the codes to get into these gun safes!?
— Lampardball. (@DWBee79) January 3, 2017
Use those gun safes and trigger locks, mom and dad. You never know who might be trying to get control of your firearms.
We appreciate all the grammar/play-on-words jokes, but unintentional child shootings in our country is no laughing matter.
