(gets on soapbox) We as a country need to prevent toddlers from getting guns. I propose legislation that would prevent any gun dealer from selling a gun to a toddler.

In 2013 there were 505 unintentional gun deaths in the US. In 2012 in Australia, there were 4. Just sayin'

Guns don't kill people. Criminal toddlers kill people!
