Would better gun control help?

[Jimbone]

Who says impaired driving gets a pass?

Yeah, let's ban cars. Good one.

And, if you'd really like to sift through the numbers, why don't you find out how many of those drunk driving deaths are the DRUNK killing themselves and their drunk friends who decided to drive with their drunk friend?

Keep trying, though, this is fun.

You're not honestly insinuating that the fervor against impaired driving is in any way comparable to the fervor of gun control... or are you?

I don't have to sift through the numbers. I would bet everything you and I own that the number of innocent victims killed by impaired drivers far exceeds the number of innocent victims killed by spree killers who used a gun. EDIT okay, I couldn't help myself... I looked it up. Even with the most conservative look at the data, 1786 people were killed by impaired drivers in just 2009. These 1786 people were non-occupants of the impaired driver's vehicle.

Number of people killed in mass shootings from 2009 through today? You tell me...anywhere near 1786?

And my point was simply that cars are more dangerous than guns. It's a fact. Cars kill and maim more people every year than guns do. People drive those cars. People also shoot those guns. They make choices - sometimes really horrible, indescribable choices - and people die.

Bottom line MS, is people do the killing... there is no escaping that fact.
