Pools aren't made to drown people, guns are made to kill.

Either way, education is the key. Not laws that remove freedoms.

Yes, that is true that education is key, but don't use desperately flawed analogies to dismiss the flagrant risks.

Its not a flawed analogy.

The reason people go on about gun laws isn't because they have the capacity to kill, its because of innocent deaths and accidents. Just like kids drowning in pools.

However, you teach kids to swim, they don't drown. You teach kids about guns and gun safety, they don't die or kill by accident.

The analogy is fine, its the crazy thought that removing the freedom to protect yourself, family, and property with a gun will actually making you safer that is flawed.
