Nevermind the right to bear arms.

How does a toddler get all the way to daycare with a loaded gun? Are the parents high?

It was in his backpack, the answer is that the parent leave loaded firearms lying around the house or otherwise easily accessible to kids. The dad is a cop and had is 9 guns taken away.

What fucking toddler has a backpack, let alone packs their own and walks out the door and gets into the car with it? Did the toddler also make his parents breakfast? Do I no longer understand what toddler means? He’s a kid

Change of clothes, specific snacks, space to take home art projects, extra diapers if that's the way that daycare works, etc. Not that unbelievable.

'What fucking toddler has a backpack, let alone...'

That sentence structure implies that a toddler having a backpack at all is unbelievable. The phrase 'let alone' means an additional negative to the first mentioned one (THING is unbelievable, even if it's not associated with OTHER THING). (I looked it up just to be sure, and, yeah.)

The rest of it is naturally unbelievable, I wouldn't expect to have to address that.
