There have been at least 50 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Thirteen were on college campuses, and 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 66 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

This is a bad take. We can work to reduce the gun-clutching while also working on water safety, road safety and vaccines -- which we did.
It's not effective to just start naming ways people die to somehow address how a countable number die in a preventable, horrific way, via an implement whose entire sole purpose is killing.
Naming other hazards that are being addressed seems a little "whataboutist" to my eyes, and I'm sorry if that's not your intent and you were just enjoying listing hazards.
See my other comment to soup. The issue with the data at hand is that bad/incorrect data drives bad/horrible policies. You don't see 900+ kids a drowning, having legislation brought forward for only pools that hold 500 gallons or at 3' deep or less. Why? Because that's not going to actually help. So why is it that the "common sense" antigun groups want legislation that's the equivalent to banning all pools over 500 gallons? Because the data they have and they are fed is junk data.
