Why don't we talk about prohibition of alcohol after DUI fatalities?

We live in a society where you can legally buy and drink alcohol.

Very frequently people abuse this freedom, they get drunk, get behind the wheel, and kill themselves or others.

This is not exactly a rare occurrence. Over 10,000 people a year die in the US in alcohol related car accidents.

So where are the people demanding alcohol be banned because of these deaths?

Because liberals are only interested in restricting the rights practiced largely by conservatives - speech by conservatives, religion and bearing arms.

A better question would be why don't we advocate for ending prohibition on alcohol for minors after binge drinking catastrophes?

Because liberals want socialism and eventually communism, disarming citizens is one of their major agendas for achieving their goals.

Guns have many legitimate and useful purposes, not just 'murdering people' Hunting, self defense, sport/entertainment, etc.

Alcohol on the other hand, has really only one singular purpose, entertainment.

Then if they have a legitimate purpose, whats wrong with going through tougher rigor to get them?

Also why do you need multiple guns?

So you are saying the founding fathers thought of the world 300 years from theirs and wrote this?

you are saying documents shouldnt be readjusted?


Also dont answer my question, why do you need multiple high powered rifiles and multiple pistols?

Is there a limit on any of the other amendments?

Exactly. Speech has changed a lot. We should restrict people’s access to freedom of speech more.

Liberals cry for abused kittens and puppies, but love abortions.

Where do they stand on animal abortions?
