	Amen. We're both very very strongly in agreement here.
In fact, a general sense of personal accountability with respect
to drunk driving, drug dealing, and other crimes would probably
help a lot.

	Certainly, holding drunk drivers accountable and making
sure they were punished severely for it would be more likely to
help than banning classes of booze that have been identified as
popular with drivers. ;)

	As I've said in the past, I don't think that gun bans
will solve the problem. They may be a component in an eventual
solution, but they're likely even then to be a small one. The
only objection I have to many of the issues that have been raised
in this discussion by the "pro gunners" is some of the weak-headed
arguments that NRA puts out, and some people accept so readily.

	They mostly called me "weirdo" - among other things.
