    A 2 year old was killed in a car accident near me. We should get rid of cars.

        It was a wrong way driver. I can’t help but feel like the kid could have done better.

          A 2 year old is not going to kill themselves operating a vehicle, unlike a gun. Even left unattended, they maybe put it in neutral.

            Pretty sure I’ve heard of at least a couple cases where small children accidentally knocked a car into drive and caused serious damage, but that’s not really the point I was making…

              Cars are still designed to keep the occupants safe during a collision. Toddler is going to live no matter what way that car is pointed, unless there’s a second car.

              Accidental gun discharges don’t need a passing second gun to be fatal.
