^^^^LOL. so the gun lobby is interpreting that to be another form of gun tax (ie if you carry a gun, you and the people around you will cost society more through health treatment therefore pay more if you are riskier).

smokers and old people already pay more health insurance = why shouldnt American gun slingers?

Quite often, in these discussions, swimming pool fatalities are held up the the number of gun related deaths in an attempt to prove that guns aren't all that dangerous. It got me to wondering...are there any other groups for instance the Swimming Pool Owners of America, up in arms ( ha ha ) about the potentially dangerous lifestyles their leading and how the may be economically discriminated against for that lifestyle choice?

Or is it just gun owners ?

The swimming-pool-owner is the “backbone” of the country. Don’t you know, it’s an infringement of second amendment rights to have to protect children by installing a safety fence around the pool. It's a socalist plot!

I heard there was this county that mandated that everyone in that county HAD to have a swimming pool. I think it was in Georgia.

Stout, I think you are right. Though, it must be difficult trying to carry a concealed swimming pool around all day just in case you might want a swim. It reminds me of that one liner by May West – “Is that a swimming pool in your pocket, or you just glad to see me?”

hehehe

one of my best friend has i think 12 guns-pistols, shotguns, rifles
some for fun, some inherited
he didn't even shoot anyone when he was deployed in iraq

guns are mishandled, guns are misused just like so much else in the world
