The Brady campaign has a rather tongue in cheek remedy for keeping guns out of the hands of toddlers. Deport them.

Courtesy of the Washington Post:

There are numerous proposals floating around Congress for reducing America’s gun violence epidemic, including: 

Shutting down online gun sales. 

Strengthening background checks. 

And banning people on the terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms. 

But in its latest PSA, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has introduced a solution for ending gun-related deaths that you’ve probably never considered: 

Cracking down on America’s toddlers. 

“Americans are shot by toddlers at least once a week,” the one-minute video notes. We need to lock them up. 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.”

As much as I want to applaud the Brady Campaign's inventiveness, I have to admit that I am still a little freaked out by seeing all of those kids holding guns.

But perhaps that's what we need, a little more freaking out about this.

Then perhaps somebody will start to care enough to do something to protect our kids from the amendment supposedly designed to keep us safe.

Because it's not.

    Oh, it's true. Just last week a rampaging gang of toddlers, some pushing others in strollers, went through the main street of our normally peaceful town shooting at anything that dared move. We are just not safe anymore.

    OT
    Dan Rather's facebook post is an excellant overview of the debate and how Hilary Clinton showed herself to be ready for the job of president
    "Clinton was steely, determined, forceful. I think this will be the tone of her presidential face, and I think it is one she wears well and naturally. "

    And not one of them asks their daddy if this thing kicks. All kidding aside, seeing toddlers holding guns doesn't make me feel comfortable, nor any safer than one of their parents, but damn, they got great aim, hand eye co ordination and strength to aim and kill.
