Guns don't kill people, toddlers do



In a brutal video meant to highlight the glut of gun in the U.S., it is recommended that toddlers who get a hold of guns and accidentally shoot their siblings or parents be incarcerated or deported.

The video is the creation of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

The video – called “Guns Don’t Kill People, Toddlers Do,” – features an assortment of small children handling guns while the narrator ominously warns that toddlers can’t be trusted and should be sent away.

“We need to lock them up,” the narrator explains. “Not the guns – that’s just un-American. Round them up. Deport them. Get them out of our country. And keep them away from guns.”

The idea behind the video is the common refrain from the NRA that “guns don’t kill people, people do.”

Want more proof?

One Day: Ten Kids, Ten Guns, Ten Deaths

Selecting one fall day in 2013, reporter Gary Younge exposes the toll of gun violence in the U.S. by focusing on the lives of 10 children across the country who were shot to death.

Typical of that "gun safety" organization to give firearms to children. Guns are not toys and should never even be portrayed that way, never.
