(8,170 posts)A pool can be occupied by multiple people at one time.
To get the human hours spent in proximity to a pool and thus capable of being harmed by a pool you add together all the time each individual human is near that pool. 10 kids for an hour is 10 man/hours, just like cars in my earlier example. One child living with a pool in the back yard is exposed perhaps 18 hours a day, assuming they do not sleep walk, is 18 man hours for each child. They are vulnerable the whole time because most families do not adequately secure their pool. I am sure you keep your guns completely secure when not in use.
Now as you have got to the point of shouting rude words let me leave you with this, if you carry a gun it is far more likely that you will accidentally shoot yourself or another than a person who does not carry a gun.
Guns are designed to damage injure and kill, no matter how they are later converted. You could convert a gun to be safe enough to be a hammer but that would not invalidate my first statement.
Guns are designed to act by issuing projectiles no matter how the weapon is later modded.
Guns are designed to have the purpose of damaging, injuring and killing. You may deny that all you wish but all you are doing is exposing the fantasies you employ to justify your position on gun control to yourself.
