Or seat belts. Or emissions standards. Every one of those were fought by the automotive industry.

And trading chocolate and drugs for black market rental car keys so I could illegally get around in urban neighborhoods.

Me neither.

But there are significantly fewer and I wouldn't have a problem with significantly fewer mass shootings. You?

You see, a solution has to SOLVE EVERY SINGLE INCIDENCE of the problem before it can be put into place. Measures that merely relieve are simply not worth the time/money/effort.

We learned that lesson with requiring seat belts in automobiles. They don't save everyone in a car crash, do they? Hundreds of people still get killed in car wrecks. We might as well just rip the damn things out and save the dough.

and snark and being patronizing is a poor response when you have nothing better to say

We can do things to reduce the number of deadly weapons getting into the hands of lunatics without requiring that we solve the problem entirely.

I had to take a blood test to get MARRIED, for crying out loud.

Though in my defense the sarcasm thingy might've helped.........

Crazy times we live in, eh?

they are dumber than fence posts

And all the public education and programs such as designated driver and free taxis on New Year's Eve haven't made a difference.

"Indeed, one of MADD’s great successes wasn’t simply convincing the government to change the law, but convincing the public at large—and the law enforcement community in particular—that drunk driving was so dangerous that it should be considered criminal. When police more aggressively pursue drunk drivers and more drunk driving arrests are made, the most dangerous offenders are taken off the road while other drivers have a greater incentive to avoid getting behind the wheel intoxicated."

I assume you also think the same laws against murder, because there are still murders? Does that explain your defense of the Vegas shooter as "maybe being coerced?"

they could have said .. "guns don't kill people, people kill people" .................

..........

... enough

Who the hell (other than yourself, of course) argued the laws stopped rather than the reduced DUIs?

(I admit, it can be difficult to think rationally when we have our head shoved too far up our biases...)

Good question

not legal products like alcohol or automobiles. Murder is already illegal.

And since laws govern people, yes they all regulate behavior of people.

Preventing someone from open carry in a school is addressing behavior.

Requiring someone to safely store their weapon is addressing behavior.

Monitoring purchases of dangerous substances or ammunition is monitoring behavior.

Or that legal products are barred from any regulation. Learning new things every day.

yeah.

It took awhile, but clearly we're now a socialist country!
