    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.
