every 2 minutes, someone is injured by a drunk or drunk driver. ( government statistics). We need stricter alcohol laws. Stupid people carry guns, and stupid people drink too much. Guns are not bad unless they get in the hands of one of these stupid people
although i believe that if a person wants to own a firearm, they should be allowed to, people should be required to go through much more than a course or a background check before being allowed to purchase a firearm. however, i dont think this comparison with alcohol is really valid here; alcohol is more or less accepted in today's society, and i dont expect much debate to come out of the topic, whereas guns are an incredibly controversial topic, even more so now with the shootings.
