Yes, both are down in the noise level. Virtually all accidental firearms deaths are reported and noted, because of their shock value. It is not nearly as certain that death due to 5 gallon buckets are so rigorously reported.

Good point. You're probably right.

The point is [not] to show how incredibly safe firearms are, that they, because they are treated with care, are no more (probably less) of a danger to young children than five gallon buckets are. Certainly swimming pools are a far greater danger of accidental death to all children than firearms are.
