Laws, fines, and jail time for drunk driving violations hasn't stopped drunk driving. Agnosticsherbet Jan 2013 #1
The only solution to drunk driving is MORE drinking. Deep13 Jan 2013 #3

Bailiff, whack his pee pee. n/t Tempest Jan 2013 #105
This is self evident. Drunks don't kill people, cars kill people. And spoons. Spoons do too. Squinch Jan 2013 #5
Drunks and cars are each necessary for drunk driving. Deep13 Jan 2013 #10
(you know I was being sarcastic too, right?) Squinch Jan 2013 #12
Yeah, I know... Deep13 Jan 2013 #24
Tons of them are. I know what you mean. Squinch Jan 2013 #60
you can't kill 26 people in a minute with a spoon CreekDog Jan 2013 #51
OK, I'm losing track of the sarcasm here. My post was completely sarcastic. The arguments in it Squinch Jan 2013 #61

If only those victims had been drunk too, they might be alive today. nt EOTE Jan 2013 #63
Hmmmm.... jp76 Jan 2013 #66

I just reread the reports quakerboy Jan 2013 #50
They used the grenades to corral people Recursion Jan 2013 #53
I'd rather be corralled than shot. EOTE Jan 2013 #64
Nor do you have to do any actual damage to be arrested for drunk driving. A Simple Game Jan 2013 #46
Why should you go to jail for what shape your rifle is? Recursion Jan 2013 #56
Why should I go to jail for drunk driving? n/t A Simple Game Jan 2013 #57
Because it endangers people. How does the shape of a rifle endanger people? (nt) Recursion Jan 2013 #58
I am not going to look it up because it doesn't really pertain, but A Simple Game Jan 2013 #70
Right, a drunk driver is more dangerous. An assault weapon is not more dangerous than a non-assault Recursion Jan 2013 #71
But I'm more likely to get killed by a sober driver. A Simple Game Jan 2013 #73
I didn't. You equated having an assault weapon with driving drunk Recursion Jan 2013 #74
I believe most people that die by gunshot get shot by pistols. Wouldn't that A Simple Game Jan 2013 #75
No, because pistols are also more common than rifles Recursion Jan 2013 #77
If you are right and pistols are a majority of all guns, and if it is true A Simple Game Jan 2013 #79
That shape allows it to hold extra ammunition which facilitates easier mass killings. Thats part of Erose999 Jan 2013 #95
OK, ArmaLite releases a new lower receiver without a pistol grip Recursion Jan 2013 #96
Its not the pistol grip, its the magazines. You can find a Remington Woodsmaster in every other Erose999 Jan 2013 #98
Then why is it the pistol grip rather than the magazine we're trying to ban? Recursion Jan 2013 #100
In Ohio, you can be asleep in the back seat, and be charged with DUI if the keys are in the car. Ikonoklast Jan 2013 #68
Same in New York, had a friend get one while sleeping in the front seat. n/t A Simple Game Jan 2013 #69
good catch samsingh Jan 2013 #85
Even that crappy '94 ban helped somewhat. Deep13 Jan 2013 #2
