Pools kill more people each year than AR-15 rifles...time to ban pools...right?

[Slyhunter]

We have the right to bear arms against a corrupt government should it go corrupt. Without which there is nothing to keep government reigned in.

 

[Defiant1]

No need to outlaw pools.

But we do need reasonable controls on them.

1. Mandatory classroom instruction on pool safety.
2. Mandatory courses in maintaining proper pool chemistry to prevent disease.
3. Licensing of those who wish to have a pool with appropriate fees to support emergency services.
4. Proper fencing of all pools - minimum 12-feet.
5. Government approved locks required for all gates allowing access to pools.
6. Annual inspection of all pools.
7. Annual inspection of all pools.
(separate fees for each inspection, scheduled at the convenience of the inspectors without
regard to convenience of the licensees)
8. Mandatory, government approved flotation devices for all pool users.
9. Several penalties, including prison time, for violation of any rule or regulation concerning pools.

A ban on pools? Don't be ridiculous. All we need are fewer than ten simple rules!

All these rules and I can still use my pool to drown someone when I need to.

You're advocating drowning someone?

Not right now.

You're one sick fuck. People like you is why I have a CCW.

I have one too.

 

[Slyhunter]

The anti-gun logic goes....people are killed by AR-15 rifles....we must ban AR-15 rifles....

So...using that kind of insane logic....pools kill more people....a lot more people.....than AR-15 rifles each and every year...therefore...we need to ban pools.....

People killed by all rifle types in 2017....403

People killed by pools every year? Over 3,500

No One Really Needs to Have a Pool in Their Yard - The Truth About Guns

In the news recently, was another celebrity toddler drowning. As horrible as that is, this tragedy was one of over 3500 unintentional drownings that occur yearly in the U.S. , not counting boating accidents. Skier Bode Miller‘s family experienced a similar heartache just last year.


Why am I bringing up these horrible toddler deaths on a gun page? Because child death by drowning is a far bigger problem than child death by firearms. In fact as the CDC itself states: “Drowning is responsible for more deaths among children 1-4 than any other cause except congenital anomalies (birth defects). Among those 1-14, fatal drowning remains the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death behind motor vehicle crashes.”

Yet you wouldn’t know that by the amount of noise we hear from the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical societies about firearms versus what we hear about water safety.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has recently updated their policy statement regarding drowning and has a web page which includes a list of Swim Safety Tips.

The tips run the gamut from ways to secure your pool, to CPR training for adults, to safety equipment that should be available near a pool.

You know what is conspicuously absent from all of this advice? Telling parents to NOT have a pool, to NOT buy a boat, and to NEVER EVER go to the beach or lake.

Another conspicuous absence is the lobbying of government officials to place ever greater restrictions on swimming pools, boats, and bodies of natural water large and small, and even to ban some pools and boats completely.

Also absent is the demonization of the bathtub industry and the pool lobby, bills to sue pool manufacturers for deaths that they callously enable, and the advice to grill other parents about their pool habits and if there is any standing water or toilets where children play.

More people are killed by clubs than by rifles.
FBI: More Club and Hammer Homicides Than Rifle

hahahahahha
from your link:
total firearms death over 8000 out of 12000

You do understand that not ALL firearms are rifles don't you?

what?? no--I didn't
hahaha
about 500 club/hammer deaths compared to 8 THOUSAND firearms
he was making a BIG deal out of hammer/club deaths--
you did not get the point
you do understand now?

In other posts I also state that knives, clubs and bare hands kill more people than AR-15 rifles do.....I did not say all guns...that is you not reading the post correctly.

And gun murder in 2017 was 10,982, not 8,000.

Doesn't matter, doesn't give them the right to remove my right to defend myself, from our government.

 

[OnePercenter]

An average of 40,000 Americans die in automobile accidents each year but there are only around 100 deaths related to equestrian activities. The logical conclusion is that they should outlaw cars and bring back horse travel.

Congratulations! You're now the king of illogical logic.

Deadly weapon/swimming pool

Is it that hard to tell the difference?

One was engineered to provide excerise, fun and relaxation. The other was engineered to kill as many people as quickly as possible.

Is it that hard to tell the difference?

It doesn't matter one is the actual cause of deaths by drowning it doesn't take a person to make you drown in a pool

The other all by itself cannot harm anyone and must be wielded by a person

According to your logic, since “few” people are killed by bazookas, they should be legal and easily purchased?
Maybe that guy in Las Vegas could have killed more people that night, which would change your argument then.

about 500 club/hammer deaths compared to 8 THOUSAND firearms

Look at you, deliberately avoiding the point put to you.

great stats/links/facts you have there

Must be because you know you cannot argue against the point he made.
As usual.

Guns have as many purposes as they do legal uses.
Some of those legal uses, and thus, purposes, involve killing.

Next time someone breaks into a school and starts drowning first graders in the pool we can talk about banning them
