Why aren't liberals screaming for swimming pools to be banned?

A young child recently drowned in my area and the news made the statement that 10 children a day die from drowning. That would be over 3600 a year. The last year there were statistics 320 people (not just children) were killed by "assault rifles" that is 1/10 the number of kids. So why aren't the liberals screaming to banned swimming pools or charging the owner of pool that a child dies in with murder.

    The pools are mostly owned by Republicans.

    There are already regulations about swimming pools on the books. If you don't have a certain depth and a pool fence to stop unsupervised swimming by children, then the parent become liable.

    I agree with you about the assault rifles. I didn't agree with Romney when he signed the ban in his State...all I wanted want for people to do a back ground check on all sales.

    How many of those swimming pool deaths were intentional murders compared to intentional gun murders? When a swimming pool intentionally walks into a public place and kills 20 or so people get back to me. Do you know the difference between an ACCIDENT and intentionally killing someone?

    Just a guess, but they might be afraid the Republicans will be throwing Pool Pea Parties in them! So pool usage among the liberal is down it's mostly Republicans who've stolen enough money to own pools.

    They're not smart enough to figure that out. 500,000 die from alcohol, 200,000 from cigarettes, 150,000 from medical malpractice, yes from doctors and their faulty perscribed meds. They are not looking at the big picture, the media is controlling their thoughts most of the time. When sandy hook happened, the president had to get on tv, lie to us all and tell us how to feel emotionally. Seriously, "we are a mourning nation, we are all sad."

    Ever see the rate of deaths for automobile accidents? The death rates of automobile accidents is even higher than gun deaths, but people still drive cars.

    Largely because assault rifles are designed to kill people. But you know that, this is just another silly question.

    Its not a part of their political agenda.

  • Because they need somewhere to go while on welfare.
