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.
Sure, more people should understand the danger around having a pool.
I have a pool and small children. I dont have a gun though.
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)
Pools and trampolines are considered dangerous for kids in america when the top two causes of death for children are guns and cars.
