Ah, yes. That article confirms that more kids drown than get shot. Here is a quote from that article:
Now, if you want to say that more U.S. children, age 14 and under, die from drowning than die from being shot, that is actually true.

One that jumped out at me is that on any given year, there is one drowning of a child for every 11,000 residential pools in the United States. What this means is that in a country with 6 million pools, roughly 550 children under the age of ten drown each year. Another more recent study not in the book points out that 10 people a day die from drowning in the United States.
Each year, there is 1 child killed by a gun for every 1 million-plus guns. Again, in a country with an estimated 200 million guns (at the time of the 2005 book), this means that roughly 175 children under ten die each year from guns.
Looking at the numbers, the likelihood of death by pool (1 in 11,000) versus death by gun (1 in 1 million-plus) isn’t even close. Children under the age of ten are far more likely to die in swimming accidents that by guns.

Eh, he's good entertainment. Harmless. The guy's I'm more concerned about are TDK and prskek. Those sickos are confirmed and admitted racists. The things they've said about Africans is reprehensible and almost Hitlerian.You're really lame, and boring. Can't you add one iota of value to this place, or the gene pool for that matter? At your current level, I think cleaning toilets at a Hardees is probably your speed, Dingus. You literally bring this place down a peg, which I thought was impossible.
Isn't that where Clinton and Obama resided for 8 years?
More kids are killed by the family backyard pool than the family gun! Libs dont give a shit

What an incredibly stupid accusation. Homeowners are required to put a fence around their pools.
I have not seen any indication from lefties replies here that they do in fact give a shit. Worse yet, they actually seem to be marginalizing the idea in order to promote their political agenda.

Volsrock is incredibly stupid.
Almost every single element in our culture and society is more regulated by the government than guns.
There is an error in the statistics shown in this illustration. Kids 14 and under in pools vs all ages shooting deaths. We need to compare 14 and under swimming pool deaths to 14 and under shooting deaths.
16, with high approval and without a big top, trapeze act and an Orange clown.
But, not without crime, corruption, and an oval office used as a rape room.
Food for thought. Don't aim your pool at my kid. The killer pools are those above ground kind they sell at Walmart to Republicans.

I plan to go out and get my concealed pool permit so I can drown criminals wherever I go.
