Lifeguards aren't a requirement to own or operate a pool, you continue to fail in the world of comparisons. I own and operate a pool, I can see if from my window right now. I don't have a lifeguard, I've never once been asked a single question about it by the federal, state or local gov. I didn't need a permit to buy it or have it installed. I don't report any water testing results to anyone.
Really? Then your state is hopelessly lax. There are hundreds of laws for private pools around here.
Of course, if someone drowned in your pool, see how fast the law takes your house, car and everything you own in judgement against you.
Once again, your desperate attempt to pretend guns are actually regulated half as much as pretty much any other object in America fails. Wahhhhh!
Keep trying ... you're almost able to discount my argument. But not.
Are you required by law to continually practice and update your lifesaving and first aid skills in order to use a gun? Does your gun permit run out every three years? Do you have to pay hundreds of dollars for regular classes? I thought not.
Hmm ... when I volunteered to help high school swimmers, *I* had to be fingerprinted. Apparently being a volunteer coach is wayyyy more dangerous than carrying around loaded weapons.
And in any case, I know you haven't been subjected to "random searches." And as for constant lies and half truths .... you gun nuts have yourselves to supply those -- your "random searches" comment is the perfect example!
Lol, more ignorance about the process of being an FFL or owning guns. Are life guards required at every pool?

Prove it, show me the laws that regulate private pool possession in your state of CT. Drop all the dramatic BS, prove it.
I have a standard homeowners insurance policy on my property which covers my pool, it also protects me against someone being hurt on my land in any sort of accident. That same policy would come into question if a shooting took place on my property that was not in self defense.

I'm required by law to pass a written and shooting test to maintain my license, that's after taking a mufti-day class to obtain the license. The testing process around here is in the $200 range and requires you to provide your own finger printing, ID photo and background checks.
You were fingerprinted to volunteer to make sure you weren't a criminal working with children at a school, that had nothing to do with pools or pool safety. Once again, you've failed.
Your attempt at being "intellectual" failed. Your example made no sense. Plastic 5 Gallon buckets, half-filled with water, kill more kids than "guns do"...
Considering the intended audience, there is absolutely no need to do that. I try to operate at a level to match, and my points still allude them. So...

I paid about $1000 per kid to get their lifeguard, first aid and water safety instructor credentials. But hey, like you said, instead of regulating guns, we should regulate pools since people drown in them!!! Oh, wait, we do.
And as a volunteer working with children, I don't consider myself anywhere near as dangerous as you are with a gun. Yet ... there are more regulations on me than on you.
Face it, gun nuts. EVERYTHING in the US is more tightly regulated than guns and gun ownership. Putting your hands over your ears and shouting "La la la la, I can't HEAAAARRRR you!" doesn't change that fact. So you gun nuts can just get over yourselves. Take a powder, stroke your weapon, whatever gives you that little tingle down there.
First you'll try to list laws pertaining to a public pool since you won't find many, if anything pertaining to private pool ownership. Then you'll do your best to twist this and claim that the public pool laws are valid even though they have nothing to do with private pool ownership.
This pool/gun comparison is actually great, it makes the anti-self defense loons like like the idiots that they are.
