From a minute of research I found that about 3 children under 14 are killed every day from drunk drivers

So in one week more that the deranged individual in conn did and that's EVERY WEEK

Lets focus America RNGR4

Things are different in the "Twilight Zone!" Obviously! Seems that sort have not learned that denial is NOT a river in Egypt!

The only focus of this debate will be mass shootings. They can not win on reducing crime, gun deaths, violence, or protecting children. I have said it numerous times. This will only be about mass shootings.

I know it is illogical, but we face a foe that does not use logic. They do not care about clips or magazines or semi auto vs. automatic. We can not fight this fight with old tactics.

The media will engage in "yellow journalism," no facts, no truth, and only "their experts."

This is diffrent. Those old arguments that it does not prevent gun crime or that criminals do not follow the law are not going to work this time. Why is it I am the only one that seems to see this? I am I wrong? Explain to me why I am wrong? They will make this about stoping mass shootings only. Australia and the UK have had few to no more mass shootings since their bans. Nevermind we are two diffrent cultures. Nevermind they don't have violent gangs in numbers anywhere near ours. Nevermind rising crime and unarmed citizens made into victims by these bans. Their only argument will be mass shootings, AND THE MEDIA WILL IGNORE THE TRUTH ABOUT CRIME!

Remeber, the other side does not engage in logical thinking! Look up "tellow journalism."

Interesting fun fact. When the news media showed the alleged murder knife and the manufactuer that OJ allegely used, the gun shop I worked in bought a bunch and they sold like hot cakes. We tried to get more but the distrubutor could not supply and back ordered indefinetly.

I know that nobody will look at overall facts only ones that get people exited but I'm really tired of hearing about those 20 kids when we have thousands of voiceless victims who are dead from things that should be more preventable in a "modern" society

Now don't get me wrong I like beer whiskey and rum as much as anybody but I think that if we spent some time to think about some of our real problems we could come up with some solutions that don't infringe people's rights and can improve all of our lives

10000 people each year are killed via drinking and driving.
80000 people die of alcohol related diseases.

I do not have any figures on how many families are destroyed, how many women are beaten or raped because of alcohol.


Us stats via CDC.

I have been using this argument with the antis since social drinking serves no real purpose. Then I mention the outstanding success of prohibition.

According to the media. Drugs are the number one killer of children in the U.S., so is alcohol, birth defects, cancer, abuse, poverty, automobile accidents, suicide, abortion, and of course guns. Like the democrats the media will take any crisis or tragety use it to their best advantage and run with it. If the media facts were true and accurate there would be no children left in the U.S.

Just a tag line I saw on CastBoolits.com.

Seemed relevant.


Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars."

Just on the news,4 people killed in a car accident including a 9 year old boy, one car was driving the wrong way and a bottle of alcohol was found in it. When will this madness stop, blah, blah, blah.
My cousin was killed by a drunk driver, thank God he wasn't killed by a assault rifle. Never mind he'd still be dead.
