    Drunk driving is a choice, the alcohol industry made it. Ban all alcohol, it kills 100xs the amount of people than scary black rifles.

        Tell that to the 40k+ people who are killed every year in the USA from basically negligent people driving (large portion of that being alcohol related). My guns have never taken anyone’s life, and the odds of them doing so is so damn small, that I’d probably win the lottery before they’re used against another human.

          Drunk driving and our terrible drinking culture is an entirely different crisis altogether. I don’t understand why you’re trying to draw parallels here (no matter how weak)? Both are bad things.

          My guns have never taken anyone’s life

          Neither have mine but I don’t have my head so far in the sand to not understand that guns are designed to kill things.

        Cool…to use the car on public roads…you can also transport them across state lines with no issue.

        I can buy a car with cash, from private hands, across state lines, have it shipped directly to me, and I don’t have to insure it nor do I need a license for it…also can buy one at any age.

        So trying to compare gun ownership with owning a car is naive.

            I mean, I absolutely can. I own track cars, no insurance on them, no license for them, not registered and I trailer them to the tracks. I can also drive them here on my property, I’ve got a old military jeep that isn’t road legal and use it driving around here all the time.

            I’m not the one being ignorant of the laws.

        Don’t bother. Check their comment history and just move on. What hurts them most is being ignored like they are in the rest of their life.
