Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, with an average of 614,348 people dying of it annually. With 323 million people in the US, that equates to only 0.0019% of the population. So by your **** poor logic, it must be no big deal at all? Over a million people die of it every year but **** em because we can convert it into a percentage, making it seem like a microscopic number.
Spend the rest of your life wringing your hands over it. No one cares. oh and...************
4 of my friends were killed in 1 felled swoop at the hands of a drunk driver the night after highschool graduation coming home from a concert.
They had 0 control over a drunk missing a turn and hitting them at over 80mph...
Physics, booze, and 1 drunk won that night.
I didnt, and dont, hold Ford accountable with the logic of nobody needs an Excursion capable of high speed.
I didn't hold VW accountable for making the GTI (a compact hatchback) incapable of protecting the passengers...
Nor do I hold contempt for Budweiser or hold them accountable.
That drunk on the other hand...
With a gunman, if you yourself are armed you have a chance to defend yourself.
Astonishing the attitude of this country has gone from land of the free home of brave, to land of the feeble, home of the nanny state advocates...
You have a chance, except against the advantage of the element of surprise, which the shooter always has.
Really? So those kids who died in Florida don't mean crap?
These threads are really stupid. As if we can only care about the leading cause of death and nothing else. I wonder if high school kids are more likely to die from heart disease than being murdered by a gun? Actually, I wonder why the gun nuts are so scared about having their guns confiscated that they're taking stupid talking points from others on the web?
Keep your guns, nut jobs! We're trying to make sure the next mass shooter can't get their own guns.

I'm sorry for your loss. If the drunk survived, I hope he never sees the light of day again. Your analogy isn't exactly correct though. In some cases, a bartender or a club has been found partly at fault if they kept surviving a drunk guy.
As we have been told over and over, alcohol is regulating. You can't legally buy it until you're 21. If a store sold it to the driver without carding him, they can be found partly liable.
So alcohol is regulated. All we want is more regulations on guns as well as existing regulations enforced.
