    Yes but pools are fun and give exercise. Gun ownership is useless (since they’re no being used now against their main purported purpose).

      I have a lot of fun going to the range and putting holes in paper. Way more fun than I have soaking in a soup of little kid urine and dead bugs in the pool.

        Mmm dead bugs and kid piss soup. Actually I think most drownings are in private pools that aren’t really like that. But I don’t think anyone cares about guns kept at the range. It’s the general availability that means the mentally unhealthy can easily get them and that leads to problems. And it’s not the just the numbers of kids killed at schools, it’s the knowledge that this happens regularly, the live shooter drills they all have to experience. It’s traumatizing for a lot of kids.

          The issue here is you’re wanting to take the guns, vs figuring out why it’s a recent thing that kids are shooting up schools.

          Those live shooter drills are pointless. It’s the same shit from the cold war. They do nothing to protect the kids, just as you said, traumatizes them.
