Swimming pools far more deadly to the little ones than guns.

Got statistics to prove that...other than NRA fluff.

Dead is dead either way.

Here are some numbers...

Pools : 260

Guns : 3792

Got better ones?

It would seem that guns are 10x more dangerous.

In Chapter 5 of Freakonomics, which explores the art and science of
parenting, we pose this question: Which is more dangerous, a gun or a
swimming pool? It turns out that far more children die each year in
swimming pool accidents than in gun incidents. For parents in warm-
weather states like Florida, California, and Arizona, this is plainly
a year-round concern, and now that summer seems to have leapt over
spring (at least here in New York City, where it hit 80 F. yesterday),
swimming-pool season is nearly here for all of us.
