After it was officially confirmed that toddlers have killed more Americans than have terrorists so far this year, Opposing Views has put together a horrifying yet fascinating list of recent fatalities at the hands of young children.
You may notice that every single one of these deaths is the result of a child getting ahold of a gun.
Here’s the list:
January 10: 6-year-old playmate shoots and kills 4-year-old Trinity Ross, Kansas City, Kansas.
February 11: 4-year-old Joshua Johnson shoots and kills himself, Memphis, Tennessee.
February 24: 4-year-old Jaiden Pratt dies after shooting himself in the stomach while his father sleeps, Houston, Texas.
March 30: 4-year-old Rahquel Carr shot and killed either by 6-year-old brother or another young playmate, Miami, Florida.
April 6: Josephine Fanning (48) shot and killed by 4-year-old boy at a barbecue, Wilson County, Tennessee.
April 8: 4-year-old shoots and kills 6-year-old friend Brandon Holt, Toms River, New Jersey.

May 1: 3-year-old Darrien Nez shoots himself in the face and dies after finding his grandmother’s gun, Yuma, Arizona.
May 7: 3-year-old Jadarrius Speights fatally shoots himself with his uncle’s gun, Tampa, Florida.

Here’s the list:

February 11: 4-year-old Joshua Johnson shoots and kills himself, Memphis, Tennessee.
February 24: 4-year-old Jaiden Pratt dies after shooting himself in the stomach while his father sleeps, Houston, Texas.

I wonder what the world is coming to. How can such young kids have access to these fatal weapons? The use of guns must be seriously addressed in America.
