What Sanchez said isn't necessarily that bad.  I don't think the deaths caused by drunk driving  (which are terrible and tragic) justify banning alcohol.

Guns kill way more people than drunk drivers, man.  And yet driving drunk or not is way more regulated.

Like I said... sick.

Not true (and not true).

Firearm murders, 2010: 8,775
Drunk driving deaths, 2010: 10,136 (and that's not counting deaths from OUIs with other drugs)

Touchy subject, but it's worth noting also that most firearm murders are violent criminals killing other violent criminals, while drunk driving deaths are generally innocents.

True.  Mass shootings are also a very small percentage of total homicides.  That being said, I am very much in favor of both universal background checks, and potentially more gun control but also allowing teachers to carry guns in schools.
