Are you a supporter of Gun Control? Are you doing it because of the horrible tragedies in Connecticut and Colorado? Is your goal to save lives or take away guns? Remember little Baylee M Dion? Of course you don't. This 7 month old girl was killed violently by a law-breaker. Danielle Kellogg.
Danielle was driving drunk, Crossed the center line, and struck a 1997 Grand Am, Ripping it in half, and k
illing little Baylee.
I did not see ONE post suggesting that Alcohol abuse HAS to stop. No one suggesting background checks on beer purchases, or limiting the amount of alcohol that can be purchased at one time.
Truth is, Alcohol accounts for 75,000 deaths a year. That's 2 1/2 times the number of gun related deaths each year, according to the CDC. Alcohol abuse costs the US over 226 BILLION dollars in 2006.
But, No one's calling for an alcohol ban. That asshole Pierce Morgan isn't crying on CNN. Diane Feinstein isn't waving a bottle of Bacardi around at a new conference podium. Joe Biden isn't proudly proclaiming that the President is going to re-institute prohibition via executive order. In all, It seems no one really gives a pl***. Except Baylee's mother.
To even suggest banning alcohol will cause many to label me "Extreme" but when you get down to it. You don't really NEED alcohol.
The counter will undoubtedly be "Well, I drink responsibly." to that I say I am a responsible gun owner. Leave MY lifestyle alone, and I'll do the same to yours.
