  • Because it's a real gun?
    Obviously not much different visually to the time crisis gun I played with as a child. Or the replica Walther BB gun I bought from an army surplus place in Dulwich when it was around.

  • In 2020 there was something like 400 unintentional shootings by children.
    This means that everyday a small human picks up a loaded, unsecured gun and shoots it.

    I imagine that would possibly increase if the deathbringer is brightly coloured and looks like a toy

    Did a quick google and it was 369 shootings with 142 deaths.
    Horrific.

  • Yeah I thought it happened a lot already. Crazy.

  • Have yet to Google, but I think it means that a small human picks up a gun and shoots SOMEONE with it. God alone knows how many guns are discharged by kids without hitting anyone.

    Thankfully, UK gun laws mean that there are negligible gun incidents involving legally held weapons.

  • In 2020 there was something like 400 unintentional shootings by children.

    I wonder how many intentional shootings happen

  • That was a depressing rabbit hole to fall into. 174 unintentional shootings by children, resulting in 70 deaths and 113 injuries so far in 2021.
