How many children under the age of 15 are killed every year with swimming pools?

Not enough to ban them, just enough to tax the he!! out of the ownership of them....for the children.

Please do not make decisions on any CDC statistics. CDC is screamingly, overwhelmingly political. Every statistic and every decision appears to be checked for a proper fit in the progressive, liberal agenda before being OK’ed. Believe me, every word in their releases is parsed and re-parsed, so those figures will support only what the liberal operatives want you to believe.

And when you run out of other things to do, check out CDC personnel salaries and duties.

How many children under the age of 15 are killed, directly or indirectly, by irresponsible, drunk or drugged-up parents or their boyfriends/girlfriends?

Since welfare, ADC, food stamps, and disability very often enable this way of life, could we run the figures on how many children under the age of 15 are murdered by entitlements?

This shows the data from 1997, but I suspect the ratios are similar:

Op-ed piece on swimming pools vs. guns as the most dangerous weapon

“Thus, on average, if you both own a gun and have a swimming pool in the backyard, the swimming pool is about 100 times more likely to kill a child than the gun is.”
