This numbers are meaningless to a committed gun banner. If you mention them to a gun banner, he will counter that swimming pools have a useful social purpose which offsets the dangers. But guns do not. IOW, you need a pool but you don’t need a gun.
BTW, if you think the numbers on pools are bad compared to guns, look up the numbers on how many children drown in plastic buckets. Compare those numbers to how many children are killed by guns. (But be careful with which numbers you use. Gun banners like to include drug trafficing gang members under the age of 24 as children.)
“BTW, if you think the numbers on pools are bad compared to guns, look up the numbers on how many children drown in plastic buckets.”
If you look at children under the age of five, there are probably a few more that die in 5 gallon bucket accidents than die in gun accidents. Both are very low numbers, down in the teens or single digits each year. Hard to quantify the bucket numbers, because they are not tracked as rigorously as the gun numbers.
