This past week, a Milwaukee toddler fatally shot his mother after finding a handgun in the back seat of the car they were riding in. The case drew a lot of national attention given the unusual circumstances: Little kids rarely kill people, intentionally or not.
But this type of thing happens more often than you might think. Since April 20, there have been at least seven instances in which a 1- , 2- or 3-year-old shot themselves or somebody else in the United States
Last year, a Washington Post analysis found that toddlers were finding guns and shooting people at a rate of about one a week. This year, that pace has accelerated. There have been at least 23 toddler-involved shootings since Jan. 1, compared with 18 over the same period last year.

Daaaaaamn.
Here I was thinking my dogs were going under the bed for a tennis ball and meanwhile they were probably trying to get to my rifle.
I see obedience school in their future.

Just shoot the dog.
Many problems solved.
But I would end up with a fairly major one; the 12" kitchen knife the wife would imbed in my skull.
