The problem with the pool argument is that a pool isn't designed to kill. Guns are. Hunting, self-defense...doesn't matter.

Not saying I agree with this line of thinking, but that is a common retort.

Guns _are_ designed to kill, and yet they (rifles) still kill around the same number people as pools. I take this as further evidence that the "assault weapon problem" is blown completely out of proportion in the media.
