In the U.S., according to the CDC, gun accidents are the #1 cause of injury deaths for children ages 1-4, mostly caused by guns kept in the home. For ages 1-14, it is the #2 cause of unintentional injury-death, behind only car accidents (link and link). Yet many people insist on keeping guns in their homes. And many oppose simple regulations that could reduce these deaths, such as child locks. Do they just not care about the deaths of so many children?
Sorry, I read that wrong. That was the data for drowning and pools, not guns.
I'm guessing that, of the people who strongly support gun control laws and have fond memories of swimming at their or friends' homes growing up, most dislike the idea of "pool control" laws. If so, why do you feel that way? Do you think, maybe, people who have enjoyed gun ownership have the same negative reaction to gun control, for the exact same reasons?
Should there be more regulations on swimming pools?
