About the swimming pool/gun arguement:

Drowning in a swimming pool is an accident, being shot is purposeful...

Yes but if you throw a TV in a pool is the pool killing you?

I agree about that if you want to murder you'll find a way but giving someone a gun hardly helps!

Just adding some stats to the arguement
 

murder rate in 2000s  per 100,000 people
US 5.9
Iran 2.93
European Union 2.37
United Kingdom 2.03
Canada 2.01
France 1.64
England,  Wales 1.62
New Zealand 1.29
 Australia 1.28


I think that says it all...

As a side point:

In US the police say "Stop or I'll shoot"
In Europe the police say "Stop or I'll say stop again!"
