211 kids in 2010 were killed by drunk drivers according to stas on MADD.

Why aren't we implementing more alcohol control?

Not alcohol, cars. Think of the money we would save on gas and roads. Can't accuse the drunk, must be the cars.

Rod Blagojevich is in a federal prison for political malfeasance, doesnt his guilt make all Governors culpable?

Firearm owners didnt commit crimes today by a margin of 99.9% including a factor for repeat offenders.

More children die at the hands of bad parents. Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer and diesel fuel.

Because some dooch-bag cannot follow the law shouldn't ban me from enjoying alcohol.

If the democrats force a law banning cancer and heart attacks the we won't have any more cancer or heart attacks. That right isn't it?

I looked at the data to try to put it in perspective.

Smoking contributes to cancer...

Alcohol to liver disease and driving fatalities...

High fat food to obesity, diabetes and heart disease...

Texting while driving to driving fatalities...

And there is no way in hell the libtard's would support a ban on alcohol, tobacco and cell phones.

Drugs are a huge problem and they are currently illegal.

Hell, they legalized marijuana in Colorado....strange bunch, those libtard's.

A few thousand new laws should do it. The tens of thousands of existing laws the nanny statists have foisted upon us are not quiiiite enough. wink
