    How It Works

    A friend just sent me this little gem; I have no idea who came up with it but it is good:

    Want to stop drunk drivers from killing sober drivers? Ban sober drivers from driving. That's how gun control works.
    Freedom is the dream you dream while putting thought in chains.

    If it really worked like "gun control" then even if sober drivers were banned from driving, drunk drivers would still kill them.

      And they would... running over pedestrians, cyclists, people minding their own business at a sidewalk cafe, etc.

        Ironically, probably many of the drunks also make the gun laws......

          Drunk drivers would then only kill other drunk drivers, like Chicago gang-members with guns.

          Yet there is always collateral damage and innocent bystanders banned carrying guns getting in the way.

          If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
