Clinton uses the statistics of toddler related shootings during the Presidential debate and conveniently a new anti-gun ad that they admittedly label 'satirical' is being run in an ad campaign. Another time we can recall toddler firearm abuse was when DC lost vs. Heller as also Clinton opposes. Below are the actual stats for 2015 and the basis for the 'once a week' claim. It seems that the concept of toddlers obtaining firearms is an exaggerated one.
"Jennifer Baker, a spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association, called the ad "offensive" and accused the Brady Campaign of trying to "sensationalize tragedy to push a gun control agenda." She added, "If they were truly concerned about safety, they would be spending their resources on safety and training."
Researchers say that the number of accidental firearms deaths — among children and overall — has been declining steadily. Some credit states that have passed laws requiring parents to store guns in safe places.
The NRA disputes that, and credits its own gun safety program for the decline.
"No one in the world has done more to promote the safe and responsible use of firearms than the NRA," Baker said."

We already have laws that address this issue, Child Endangerment. Now, let's be honest. Hillary doesn't give a damn about your children (nor my grandchildren). She has an agenda, to erode our right and ability to defend ourselves from her and her type of tyranny. That's what this is all about. Now, people will "remind" us that Hillary (nor any President) can rescind the 2nd Amendment. Well, they don't have to rescind it. They just have to keep doing what they've been doing: Eroding it with court decisions that interpret it into irrelevancy. If elected, she will appoint a number of new justices to the Supreme Court who will accomplish this mission for her. So go right ahead and complain about Donald. He is most deserving of your derision. But keep in mind what you will be losing if Hillary wins.

SPC James Harsh - If elected, she can try. If SCOTUS says that it is against the Constitution, it won't last.

SGM Steve Wettstein - If you don't have ammunition or some types of firearms (like the scary one Feinstein wanted banned) you have limited your ability to using firearms to an expensive club. These can be done and bought into by a liberal Supreme Court. Progressive don't necessarily move quickly but inexorably. And, as we have found winning on all fronts.

Some articles showed statistics and one had abortions as the number cause and I'll refrain but I almost made a post asking if that would be accurate to abortion advocates since they don't consider abortions to be a loss of life, should there be an asterisk* but that is another topic for another day

D.C. Vs Heller had nothing to do with toddlers. Toddlers were not mentioned in any argument or by judges in the decision. It was about a retired cop who felt like the city's anti gun laws violated his Constitutional rights. Sen Ted Cruz argued the case and won (as he always does)

SPC Nathan Freeman - I have that is how I speak from memory and upon review of the debate Clinton should be called out for her misleading of Dc v Heller since it was about the handgun ban
