re: So now, "Our thoughts and Prayers" needs to be outlawed

The percentage of legal gun owners who use their guns to murder, is very very low. Similarly, I'm thinking the percentage of people who legally consume alcohol and then drive drunk and kill someone is very low. Why is it that when a drunk driver kills people, we don't have skyscreamers demanding alcohol be made illegal or more restricted? Why, when offering thoughts and prayers to the parents of a child killed by a drunk driver they don't scream at you to keep your prayers and do something to get rid of alcohol? Why don't they demand background checks before people are allowed to buy alcohol--what if that person is a known alcoholic, should they be allowed to buy alcohol? (of course. I'm just using this as a comparison, not arguing for it) It's not the alcohol that kills, it's the person who uses it and chooses to get behind the wheel.
