Laws are meant to punish anti-social actions that harm or have the strong possibility of harming other members of society.
My ability to own a fully auto rifle is neither anti-social nor does it harm you. The fact that in the neighborhood of 300 million guns in the US aren't going to harm anyone proves that owning a gun does NOT have the strong possibility of harming anyone.
Driving drunk is against the law, but owning a car and owning alcohol are not against the law, nor should they. Same concept with guns.
Sure, 88,000 people in the US die from alcohol each year, but that's not something you hate.
What, don't like it that they are not all white nazi's?
You absolutely can play it both ways, you and your leftist buddies do it all the time.....
ANd ohhhh, the NRA meme....that's just as bad as RUSSIA COLLUSION, get a new talking point....
I don't know, but I do know there were 11 CHILDREN killed in drive by shootings within 3 months in St. Louis....<<<<<<<<Fix this and the possibility that gun violence goes down. But you don't care about that, those single killings don't matter to you.
Tell us wise one, what does the NRA have to do with those shootings?

Drivers' licenses and alcohol is highly regulated. I agree with you that guns need to also be highly regulated.

Great, let's have the same laws.
I can go out and just purchase a car with no background check, drivers license, insurance or anything else and drive it all around my property without breaking a single law. I can even take that car practically anywhere I want as long as it's not being started.
Any adult can buy as much alcohol as they choose. All that is needed is proof of age. No background check, no registering and no record who purchased it. An adult can give another adult alcohol without doing anything.
So, how about the exact same regulations for guns? Would that make you happy?
One US city accounts for nearly 10% of the mass shootings in this country. What do you propose to do about that?
I propose that common sense gun regulations are enacted and enforced including extensive background checks and waiting periods.
This gun violence will continue escalate. I recommend gun fanatics fight for common sense solutions before the Democrats regain control of congress and the white house. The Democrats will solve our gun violence problem for sure! If you want to wait for the Democrats to handle it, so be it.

That is a start.
I agree with the part that driving privileges can be terminated if driving regulations are not followed or a person is deemed physically/mentally unfit. I also like that a person can be charged for providing alcohol to a minor or to a customer who gets drunk and kills someone driving.

If they can get guns out of the hands of criminals with laws, why haven't they used those same laws on heroine and cocaine?
Yeah, just like drug laws don't keep drugs off the streets, gun laws won't keep them off the streets either.
I do like your idea of using the same regulations for cars and alcohol for guns.
