[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1322067, member: 14668"] And your point would be what? It was a tragedy. A stupid person did a stupid thing with a gun and a child died. But the statistical fact of the matter is that [I]alcohol [/I]is the direct causative factor in [I]far [/I]more deaths than guns are...and most gun deaths [I]also [/I]involve alcohol. So if we are going to justify banning or heavily regulating guns on the basis of public health or "saving the children"...would you advocate banning alcohol for the same reasons? What about "reasonable restrictions" such as background checks, waiting periods or licensing of alcohol purchasers? How about being required to register your alcohol purchases with the government, and submit to police inspection of your mandatory "child proof" liquor safe? If it will save one child........
