Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

We had a state legeslator (guess which party) suggest that all cars in NM should have brethalyzer interlocks installed.

they would put guns on the back burner and concentrate, instead, on getting teenagers off the road. In a country where millions of adolescents are encouraged to start driving cars—cars fueled by a deadly mixture of gasoline and high-octane hormones—

This couldn't me more true to me. I have to go to the funeral home today for one of our employees only child. 17 year old daughter.

LOL...That's a great analogy. Wasn't it Jesse "The Body" Ventura who said: "My idea of gun control is two slugs through the same hole." Now that's my idea of proper gun control!!!

Badray, check out # 2.......great analogy there.

Oh mercy......prayers for the family. That hits real clost to home.....my daughter is 17.

...cars fueled by a deadly mixture of gasoline and high-octane hormones....

The family that shoots together is right on target, in more ways than one.

Bolt action .22s are great gifts for a girls 16th birthday. That way I can keep her hands off mine.

[Badray]

That's brilliant.

Thanks for posting this article. It's great.

In New Mexico, that's perfectly reasonable.

[I've lived there; I'm entitled to joke.]

The government can not deport the illegal aliens but I bet the Liberals would vote to consficate about 300,000,000 firearms in a blink of a eye. Why that would be easy. Bet they would makes all owners felons. Ya think.

[Conservative Goddess]

Good point........we can't track down and deport the millions of illegals....but we can track down and confiscate all the evil guns. riiiiight. And I'm guessing we wouldn't get any AMNESTY for possession of an evil gun, now would we????

Gun control has never been, never well be about crime control.

All the crime control talk is just one excuse to try and disarm the people.

Gun control has and always will be about people control.

Disarm the people and you can control them leave them armed and you can not control them.

With a kazillion guns already in circulation, Brady Bill or no Brady Bill, I'm afraid we'll never again see the day that criminals have to make do with rocks and sharp sticks.

Something to keep in mind is that in the days of rocks and sharp sticks, the thugs ruled. Firearms makes things a lot more equal for people who want to just live in peace with their neighbors.

"Of far greater concern to me are the yahoos driving around in those lethal, over-sized, gas-guzzling, lane-straddling sport-utility vehicles. Armed with a feisty attitude and a few tons of steel, every soccer mom has become a full-fledged menace.."

Amen. I drive a small sedan, and it used to be just the wild eyed punks and gang bangers who would come up behind me in menacing fashion to make love to my Chevy's tailpipe. Now I often look back and I see an SUV driving woman with a cell phone growing out of her ear.

"Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars."

Excellent tagline material! (And it fits.)

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Agreed!   Honorary Tagline in the next Taglinus.

Thanks for the heads up.

One of ours wanted to get guns out of the hands of drunk drivers.
I heard it and I still can't figure it out.
