While we don't ban beaches and pools, we do require them to be monitored by trained lifeguards! I think we should have reasonable safeguards in place for guns as well.
- wilsonnb3 4y agoI don't think pools or beaches have to be monitored by lifeguards anywhere that I have lived. You just have to have a sign that says 'no lifeguard'.
- Supermancho 4y ago> I don't think pools or beaches have to be monitored by lifeguards anywhere that I have lived. My house doesn't have a no-lifeguard sign around our pool or on the lake a block away. I think you're right.
- umvi 4y agoSo... should we ban private backyard pools that don't have lifeguards? Lots of kids down in those.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoSome cities won't grant a permit unless the pool is fenced because of the drowning risk to small children.
- gooberdoop 4y agoCan I buy an extended magazine for my private, backyard pool? Or should we just admit this metaphor lost all meaning some time ago? Like, really, that’s what you’ve got? But what about backyard pools? That’s your humdinger, parliamentary argument for why inaction is better when confronted with a logical comparison? To extrapolate the comparison further and a-ha! the degenerate cases like you’re arguing philosophy in Plato’s company? What is it about topics like these that make a forum of otherwise intelligent people argue like they’re practicing bird law? In any other context someone making the point you’re making would be ridiculed for taking the argument here.
