Levitt analyzed child deaths from residential swimming pools and guns and found one child under 10 drowns annually for every 11,000 pools. By comparison, one child under 10 each year is killed by a gun for every 1 million guns, according to his research, outlined in a new book "Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side to Everything," which he co-wrote with journalist Stephen J. Dubner.
Just remember - Gun Control isn't really about controlling guns, it's about controlling PEOPLE. Otherwise, why do so many anti-gunners continue to have pools in their backyard, or freqent local pools and swimming areas? If they were so concerned about children's safety, they'd be working on a lot of other issues instead of guns. I'm sure that John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Chucky Schumer and Diane Fienstien would all be happy to give up their pools in the name of public safety, right?
Yeah, right.
