Guns, Carried Openly or Concealed, Threaten Our Safety

[sarisataka]

85. Two personally

about 8 other incidents, not all resulting in death. It is often missed and gets reported as the 'confused driver'

The point is, if we are to limit something based on what 'may' happen where do we want to draw the line... To those two families it was a very big deal.

I have buried several people who were under 30 and victims of drunk drivers. If the driver survived they seem to get out of jail in 3-7 years. Had a gun been used, how long? Yet we do not restrict people who 'may' become drunk drivers. If fact even if you kill a person with a car, you can take a class and get your license back in a rather short time.


My point is if we are to restrict something based on what may happen, would not restricting drivers (in order to get to work and earn the money to support their families ... necessary shopping, all other trips must be approved my the local manager of transportation safety) have a greater a greater benefit than restricting gun owners? Or does it make sense to acknowledge what may happen and take steps to reduce that possibility of occurrence, placing trust in people who, as yet, have done nothing wrong?
