I have to think miniature guns for toddlers would open up whole new segments for gun manufacturers
In 2021 4,752 children had gun related deaths. That's 13 a day.
There are 74 million children aged 0-18 in the USA. Going by your numbers, that means in 2021 that 99.99999% of children in the USA were not harmed by guns.
I know your number is a hyperbole, the real percent given the numbers in the thread is ~99.994%, or 14999/15000 unharmed, which, most supporters wouldn't bat an eye at anyway
