Even recreational use of guns is a violent activity, by the way.

That doesn’t mean I’m saying it’s bad, I’m not. But it’s potentially deadly violence, requiring special safety precautions.

That’s why I bristle a little when gun ownership is compared to swimming pools. They’re simply not in the same class, and not comparable. A swimming pool is designed to help people, not kill them. It’s potentially dangerous, but not remotely the same way as a handgun.
