Perhaps I should have said relatively safe?  Since I already stated 
in a previous that even one child's death is too many, I had assumed 
you would retain that and assimilate it with my later message.
Simply stated, since there are many more firearms than swimming pools, 
yet many more children are killed in swimming pool accidents than 
firearms accidents, we can conclude that firearms are much safer.
So, would you support registration of and licensing for swimming pools? 
 How about a waiting period?
