I don't actually know if there are a lot of laws around just owning a pool. For homeowner's insurance yes there are acceptability guidelines..but criminal convictions? I don't honestly know that the U.S. has that sort of control on pools though admittedly I haven't gone into depth on that. I do know in my HOA you can only have an inground vs and above ground pool due to aesthetics. Swimming lessons required by law? Hmm I don't know that it's required in my area..pretty sure it's not.I think this is apples and oranges.
A pool and a bike have other uses besides killing things. That’s IS the purpose of guns.
Now I don’t know about the IS laws around pools and bikes but here there are a multitude of laws that surround owning a pool, and criminal convictions if you fail to meet them. Swimming lessons are a required part of the curriculum just like maths is.
Bikes:helmets are required by law.
So in both of your examples reasonable measures are being taken to reduce the risks involved.
As far as helmets for bikes go..that's also something that is different. It's not legally required to wear a helmet for a motorcycle in my state if you are over the age of 18. I believe the neighboring state however legally requires it though it's been several times up for state repeal of that law. For bicycles in my state you are legally not required to wear helmets at any age at the state level however at the city level there may be ordinances that may require you to do so. The neighboring state also does not legally require helmets at any age at the state level however at the city level there may be ordinances that may require you to do so.
Both features though just like guns will vary from state to state, from county to county, and from city to city. Again the way our government is set up is different than other countries.
