I was shocked this week to read an article about how there has been an average of one toddler shooting a week in the United States! The statistics work out this way: 13 toddlers accidentally killed themselves 2 killed someone else 10 toddlers injured someone else 18 injured themselves The U.S. state where this happened the most is Missouri ... the state where I grew up and learned to shoot a gun when I was a teen. It makes me wonder what has happened in Missouri since I grew up. People used to be careful with their guns. I never heard of anyone accidentally shooting someone else, let alone a toddler handling a gun. If you want to see the statistics for yourself, you can find them here: thedailyvoicenews.com/2015/10/18/american-toddler-shootings-happened-weekly-in-2015/ Isn't this a terrible situation? When are adults going to be more responsible with their guns?

Adults is the one to be blamed for this.

And something like that should not even happen once.

I completely agree. This should never happen, let alone once a week!
