OMG... Hospital spokesman just said

45. No it isn't

All you're really saying here is that gun regulation issues are political and a function of the state. That doesn't make shootings political acts.

It's the same with drunk driving. The state decides who gets to have a license, who gets it taken away for DUIs, and how much alcohol you can have in your system while driving. But nobody is going to argue that drunk driving deaths are political simply because the state makes drunk driving laws.

Add to that the fact that many perpetrators of gun violence are already breaking existing laws just by possessing a gun in the first place. Many of them are already felons, or are packing in prohibited areas, or whatever. That actually applies to the driving issue as well. I went to traffic court about 10 years ago and my case wasn't called until the end. I was literally the only person in the room with a valid drivers license.
