You can make a far worse case against swimming pools. What's your
point?

There you go. Comparing swimming pools to guns. What's your point?
Get real. Why not trampolines and bicycles and canoes?

If your goal is to protect children from accidental death, doesn't it
make sense to focus on the most common reasons? It is bull**** to
say otherwise. Everyone who has a favorite cause always uses
children to promote it because it provokes an emotional knee jerk
response. One of my favorite examples are the local wine distributors
who are opposed to internet sales. Their favorite rejoinder is: "But
what about the children?", as if there were a lot of underage, wine
drinking kids out there with their own American Express cards.
