But we don't buy pools to try and prevent drowning.

73.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Rychan, you're right. We buy pools and encourage kids to play in them, thereby sending a bad signal regarding the danger of it. Most gun owners treat guns like the deadly serious pieces of machinery they are (of course there are jackasses out there that would be an exception to that). The first time I held a gun I accidentally passed the barrel across the direction of my uncle and I wasn't allowed to hold another gun until a YEAR later. Never made that mistake again. It's like anything that's dangerous -it requires personal responsibility and not the government to play mommy. Except in the case of guns it should also require background checks and stricter penalties if you're a dumbass.

Correct. And we don't hire gun cleaners to prevent lead poisoning.

Pools are well-regulated. There are guidelines on access control and insurance liability. It would be good if guns had more regulation than swimming pools. Guns aren't just a risk to your family (and statistically, they are a MASSIVE risk to you family), they are a risk to everyone. It's hard to take a concealed swimming pool into a movie theater and drown everyone.

Anyway, nobody is trying to take away your guns. Although I wouldn't really be opposed to it (e.g. I'd be happy living in one of the many peaceful nations with strict gun control laws). I've been hunting and skeet shooting a handful of times and I think it's fair to say that long rifles and shotguns are a part of American culture for a hundred plus years. But I wouldn't care if all semi-automatic handguns and rifles were banned.
