Didn't Andrea Yates use a bath tub to perpetrate five crimes?

Sorry you haven't kept up on the news.

Imagine what she could have done with a swimming pool.

Why didn't she just use a gun?

Fill in that dangerous attractive nuisance, dude.

<edit>

I'm glad you see so little difference between a swimming pool and a gun. You didn't claim that a pool has any redeeming social value, just that one can and is used by criminals to perpetrate crimes, so we're making headway. You are wrong, however, because both can be, in the wrong hands. It's the actor that counts, but you don't seem to understand that yet.

Sorry for being so far above your head.

Yeah, but the Bill of Rights doesn't say "The right of the people to keep and bear swimming pools shall not be infringed." Big difference if you are interested in maintaining constitutional rights, which you claim to be. Or were you fibbing when you wrote this: I, for one, would like to see us maintain the rights guaranteed by our Constitution
