In the wake of this latest shooting, rightist have come up with a new comparison: drunk driving deaths to mass shooting deaths.

It’s ridiculous. One is an intentional act of violence, INTENTional, the other is completely unintentional.

The phrase I heard was “dead is dead” why does it matter how it happen. This is apparently the new talking point to bear back the calls for gun stronger gun control legislation.

It’s s truly amazing what a person can talk themselves into believing.

Hmm... why does a felony DUI conviction (no death or intent) remove your 2A rights for life?
 
Driving drunk is as intentional as liberalism is a mental disorder.

Um, you're new hear but this is not a new comparrison. It truly is amazing what a person can talk themselves into believing, like "Gun Free Zone" is a good idea.

374 people were killed by rifles of any kind in 2016. That's significantly less than hands/feet or knives. Your concern is disproportional to reality.

So this is going to be a 'one hit wonder' I suppose.

Oh god, a crazed Michael Weiner rube!

And...conservatism is an end-stage disease!

You are right, mazes tov! Now please point out, i guess, any “mass stabbing” or mass beating where 12 people in theater were wiped out. Maybe a “mass kicking” where 20 little children were removed from this planet.

Oh only 374? Wow, that’s great, only 374 dead bodies. Well shut my mouth, thems dern acceptable losses. How dare those evil putrid progressives want to reduce those deaths. 374, it’s nothing!

Heavens to murgatroyd!

Yeah, another one tried to use swimming pools as a comparison.

They are desperate, and idiotic.

Always a brilliant response from the DamnYankee. Well done.

He actually thinks that is an intelligent response.

So easy for the rubes to be conned.

Can I ask you? A movie theater is considered a “gun free zone”, so how many MORE people would have been shot and killed if, let’s say, 5 folks with concealed weapons, started shooting in a dark theater.

So what you're saying is that you prefer significantly more people to be killed so long as it's done over a longer period of time and with things that aren't rifles. That totally makes sense.

Zero. It is gun free therefore the five folks would not be carrying concealed.

I didnt think my scenario need the clarification, but ok, GFZ don’t exist, or rather the most ominous sign that prevents people bringing their guns is not visible.

Now, how many MORE people would get killed?

Would someone target a theater if they suspected multiple people inside had guns or find one that restricts guns lowering the chances of anyone returning fire? How many lives could of been saved if the theater welcomed CC permit holders?

I’m pretty sure I didn’t say that.

I did ask how many “mass stabbings” have happened in this country. I guess you missed that question?

It's most definitely what you're saying.
 
How is drunk driving unintentional

Most drunk drivers don’t believe they so impaired as to not operate a motor vehicle.
This is why, criminally, drunk drivers who kill are never charged with murder.

So if a gunman didn't think he was a good enough shot to hit as many folks, would you say that is unintentional also. A drunk driver shows intent once he puts car in drive and pulls away.

Why? If it’s dark and you cannot see where the fire is coming from, more importantly, shooters don’t know if someone is carrying or not.

Let me ask you this, how many times have you seen the the “Gun Free Zone” SIGN stop a person carrying a gun?

I leave mine in the car when I walk into the liquor store so Sunday afternoon would be the answer to your question.

1) A mass shooter, like the Vegas killer, brought tons on weapons, selected the target, etc etc. see a pattern developing? I doubt a crazed gun man is thinking about how poor of a shot he is.

2) A drunk driver is impaired,that is why they call them drunk. It’s in the title!
