      This is really only close to true statistically if you’re under 4, thank fuck America isn’t shooting many toddlers yet (but the number isn’t zero). There are about 1200 deaths a year in domestic pools in the US and 46000 gun deaths.

        A) you’re way off…3500-4000 drown in the USA a year. We’ll call that accidents.

        B) accidental gun deaths per year are around 450-500…

        You wanna do statics, do them right and stop making shit up. Your anti-gun propaganda you drink has always had to make shit up to get people to believe their crap. No having a firearm in your home is not magically more deadly than owning a pool. Period.

          Yeesh. Another gun-clutcher.

          Drowning deaths in America includes every kind of drowning death, and so lake and boating and surfing and oil rig and commercial fishing accidents pump that number up.

          You wanna do statics, do them right and stop making shit up.

          Hypocrisy is fun. And the word is statistics.

          A) includes drownings in bathtubs an natural water (where majority of drownings happen) B) so people who died to domestic violence or suicide are safe are they?

            Suicide isn’t an accident and neither is domestic violence. You don’t accidentally off yourself and you can’t accidentally have domestic violence. You also can’t suicide via water either…well not without a ton of work.

            You’re bullshit stat is about how having a gun magically makes you more likely to be a victim of gun violence, which is not correct.

          Yeah, obviously a company that sells pool safety products wants to emphasise pool safety (and I’m not trying to say pools aren’t dangerous BTW)

      I’m not talking about swimming pools I’m talking about the risks of shooting your family while trying to protect them being larger then the infinitesimal chance that you might John Wick some home invaders and save the day.
