What is your source, and the actual number of kids (0 – 17) who have died in “private swimming pools”?
According to WISQARS http://webappa.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe
there were 952 0-17 yr olds who drowned in 2007. That 952 would include bathtubs, buckets, toilets, natural bodies of water, (lakes, rivers etc.), boating, public and private pools.

The number of kids 0-17 who die from being shot with firearms according to WISQARS http://webappa.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe was 1,520 in 2007 and has averaged 1,500 per year for the years 1999 – 2007.

You must know how many of each or you wouldn't know which is more.
