There are free swimming classes offered all over the country to address child drownings. There are regulations about fencing private pools and concerning the presence of life guards at public facilities.

The only "zealotrous screed" I see here is from the pathetic Rambo wannabees who feel their need to own a gun that has no purpose other than mass murder trumps everyone else's rights. I grew up in a family of hunters. No one needs a 30 round capacity magazine to hunt or for basic self-defense.
