A 3-year-old accidentally shot and killed their 1-year-old sibling Monday in Fallbrook after getting ahold of an unsecured handgun, San Diego County Sheriff’s Deputies said.
Either way, the analogy is weak because because a 3yo killing someone with a toilet has a reliably low probability. Even on accident.
But children are prone to accidents all the time. And all it takes is one accident or lapse of judgement for a child to gun down their sibling/friend- even if they’re educated on firearm safety. The fact that this regularly appears on the news should be a wakeup call. It never is.
