GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[F.U.]

I feel there should be more attention put towards the laws we already have on the books and not enforced.

Join the club.

That doesn't mean that the existing laws/regulations are comprehensive enough and new regulations or laws aren't worthy of consideration. Also, it's worth considering whether some of the loose existing laws/regulations should be scrapped and replaced with tighter, more enforceable ones, IMO.

Backing up to your post upthread in regards to why more effort isn't being put into vehicle safety/laws -- I don't understand where you're coming from with that statement. There is a lot of ongoing focus on driving safety associated with BALs, speed limits, car design, et... Breathalizers are now a requirement in some areas for DUI offenders (and MADD is pushing to get them in all vehicles with a zero BAL tolerance as their long term goal).

Anyway, if you truly feel there isn't enough ongoing focus and change in regards to driver/vehicle safety somehow, I would be open to considering ideas for new control measures.

There's no reason that I or anyone else has to choose between vehicle safety/control and gun safety/control.

Actually that post was more of a sarcastic post, pointing out how everyone seams to point the finger at firearms and over look other items such as auto deaths.

Now as a side note, since you brought up a breathalyzer in a motor vehicle. Iowa has done this for years. You get a D.U.I. you have to have one installed in what ever you drive. You drive a pickup, it goes in that, drive a car it goes in that, a Motorcycle, it goes on that. Do you see a problem with that? I see a few.
One is the fact that they will put a PBT on a bike. How dangerous is that [especially when you hear how, when and where they work]?

Second is it goes into one vehicle and while you are told you can only drive that one vehicle no one follows that rule. They simply park it and drive something else until their time is up.
Thirdly if you have ever seen one of those contraptions you would realize just how dangerous these are. They are a box about the size of two packs of cigarettes, that is attached to a hose. That contraption randomly tells you when you must blow into it, as you are going down the road. You must put this contraption in front of your face and blow for 3-5 seconds.
I feel in a attempt to make people safer they are actually making things worse. But , I guess that is subject matter for another thread.
