Interestingly, the most dangerous thing to have around children is a pool.
Drowning is the number 1 cause of death for children ages 1-4 in the US and still asking the leading causes of death all through childhood. Most of those deaths are in pools.
8 percent of houses have pools, whereas 40 percent have guns.
There are also regulations where I lived that you can’t have a pool built now without having a barricade of some sort to prevent kids from falling in. But no regulations that you have to have a gun behind a barricade around kids.
(You could be grandfathered into not having the netting if you had it built prior to the legislation)
I thought you were making a joke but the number one cause of childhood mortality in the US is firearms. Number two is vehicles.
No problems here though, ehat can you do right? Thoughts and prayers!

Sure, more people should understand the danger around having a pool.
I have a pool and small children. I dont have a gun though.

Pools and trampolines are considered dangerous for kids in america when the top two causes of death for children are guns and cars.
Oh it’s a joke alright.
