It is insane the number of people killed annually by [View all]
people under the influence of alcohol. How many drunk drivers and abusive bastards hurt children each year? Alcohol is involved in the majority of sexual assaults but weapons only account in 1/5.
Guns can be used for protection (from alcoholic exes, no less), hunting and sports. What purpose does alcohol serve? Where is there a right to get drunk? Who needs more than 1 drink? The repeal of Prohibition was the distillery industry to peddle their poison that kills the users and hurts those around them. How much of our national healthcare could be improved if we didn't have to mop up after those who peddle alcohol? No one needs a high-capacity case of alcoholic beverages. Why not register people purchasing alcohol to make sure repeat DUI ofenders don't buy alcohol? People should be licensed to drink and have to renew that license every 5 years after an extensive background check. Does your right to own a vast array of alcoholic beverages trump the right of living, breathing people to move about safely? Obviously the laws we have now are insufficient to stop alcohol related crimes, deaths and injuries and all people should support reasonable alcohol control. I bet the detractors have a whole bunch talking points "ginned-up" by the alcohol producers' lobby; who should be declared a terrorist organization. There making billions annually off of the misery of millions. Lemme guess: they can have your whiskey bottle when they can pry it from your cold, dead hand. Happiness is a cold beer. Only crazy people "need" alcohol and those are the first people who should be kept from having it. I'm not saying confiscate (wait a minute, yes I am) but we could make sure the taxes are $500 a bottle. THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO DRINK!
If you don't support prohibiton then you are morally responsible for the tens of thousands of people killed by alcohol related incidences each year. Ditto the sexual assaults, domestic violence and child abuse. Their blood is on your hands.

16. Another supporter of dead children and sexual assault.
I remember when DU used to be a progressive board.

10. That's exactly what a paid troll of the death merchants would say.
Take your corporate distillery talking points somewhere else real progressives actually care about the children being slaughtered on the nation's highways.

I think what he was doing was mocking the pro gun crowd but the poor DUmmies are way too sensitive for even something presented as satire.

You only catch flak when you're over the target.

Judging from the logic of the DUers counterarguments, it looks like nuker rolled a grenade under the tent flap.
