The US needs to ban alcohol sales

154. I can, it's easy for sane people, gun fetishists, not so much.

Of course the gun fetish crowd always relies on "they want to take away my guns", crybaby shit. But reality is we would like them regulated so that crazy people cannot get very, very powerful weapons capable of killing many, many people at a time.

And before you get all fetishy on me, by powerful, I don't mean caliber, so shove your nomenclature up your arse. I mean rifles and handguns capable of firing many rounds (more than six), very quickly (semi-auto), without bothering to reload. Get it? You figure out which I am talking about from that bit of info.

If you are so aim impaired that it takes you 30 shots to hit something so therefore you need one of those types of guns, you can keep it at the local "idiot proof" gun range, where you can go and shoot many thousands of rounds, like a kook, whenever you please. I am sure that most rational shooters would love to have the kooks cordoned off. Generally, legitimate hunters do not need 30 shots to kill anything. Mostly, when you miss, the game is gone. Two, three, maybe one more. Then reload. If you must. Geez. And go practice a bit at the skeet range.

Now if we compare that to alcohol, if a very powerful drink comes along that is a threat to consumers, we pretty much ban it. I think it just happened not long ago with some kind of high alcohol drink that nobody knew was so strong and it knocked you on your arse. If the alcohol is too strong, it is illegal. Too strong meaning, too dangerous to ingest.

Now think about it logically, nobody can walk into a house with a bottle of wine and kill the whole party with it. It is about being reasonable, which gun fetishists plainly never are. Does alcohol lead to many deaths? Yeah, so does cholesterol. And smoking. And air pollution. Want to go down that road?

Try to consider the degree to which your hobby makes you unreasonable in civil society.
