Read Freakonomics by Stewen Levitt and Stephan Dubner. It has actual
statistics on deaths by guns and deaths by swimming pools.

Really, what is the jest? I use to do pools, came close to death a
number of times in them. No water though, heat stroke.

Actually...people drown in swimming pools far far more than die by
gunshot accidents. Several times more.

in fact..it appears to be 20x more

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
