There's only one way to solve this problem folks.

WE NEED TO BUILD A PLAY PEN.


In 2016, Toddlers Have Shot More People in the US Than Muslim Terrorists Have

According to the Washington Post, our nation's nurseries are housing more than just unbearable levels of cuteness: Twenty-three people have been shot by toddlers in the U.S. since the start of 2016 — exactly 23 more than have been shot by Muslim terrorists over the same period.

Scary: Yet the threat posed by America's gun-toting 3-and-unders hasn't drawn nearly the same backlash as that against Muslims — begging the question of why our leaders are ignoring what, from a statistical standpoint, has proven the much bigger danger to our survival this year.

So far, no one has called for a "temporary ban" on babies leaving the hospitals in which they were born. No pundit or law enforcement official has advocated a more aggressive vetting process for toddlers passing through America's airports, or OK'ed a multimillion-dollar police surveillance campaign to monitor places toddlers are known to frequent.

Of course, by carefully limiting it to people "shot," you get to exclude the knife attacks, bombings, etc.

Because you're a propagandist.

Twenty three TODDLERS have shot people in the US this year alone?

That is one of those truly astounding facts that deserve to be in that mind-blowing facts thread.

I bet nowhere near that amount of people have been shot dead by toddlers in the British Isles in the last 600 years - or ever. Probably close to zero.
