There are not that many for firearms either. I'll use a left-wing pro-gun control source.
NPR (
https://www.npr.org/2021/08/31/10327...death-children) using data from the extremely biased Everytonw group says there were 2,070 'accidental' shootings by children from 2015-2020, and 765 deaths, or 127.5 a year.
127.5 per year from guns, 389 from accidental drownings of under 15's (the gap is even larger, as the guns go up to actual adulthood;

Meanwhile 44% of households have a gun, and there are over 400,000,000 of them in civilian hands.
It appears that my home is markedly safer for a child than one with a swimming pool.
