You CAN NOT ban alcohol to fix DWI. It was tried and failed. As for the "wing" having lived in the south east and mid west there are PLENTY of Dems who support the individual ownership of firearms. He did the same thing wrong a person does sitting in their car hit by a drunk driver. I presume he is not still beating his wife.

Its illegal to drive drunk or fire a gun randomly, the person should be punished but we are not going back to prohibition days. Not going to happen.

There is no NEW law. The last major change was 1968 the newer laws are more administrative in nature. (some bad, some good)

It is not a gender issue, a lady NEEDING MENTAL CARE shot her coworkers in a university setting. This was an intelligent woman, suffering from mental disease, or maybe just a murderer.

The numbers back this, gun death splits up neatly into mental health (suicide), Drug money (people dont make the news), and true random.

True random is a very small number.
