The result of all of it is drunk driving arrests are once again on the rise. Morons will continue to buy guns and shoot themselves and harm others.
Most likely more will shoot themselves than ever before, as more are buying and carrying weapons than ever before. Many without permits, or any training. There are people who shouldn't drive a car, fly a plane, or ride a motorcycle, or operate a boat. But they will. When they do there will be "accidents". The best you can hope for, is to always operate yours in a 100% defensive state of mind. That way when one of these clowns moves near you, you can move away from them. Distance is the best protection from morons.
In virtually every state, you don't need a "permit" to own a firearm. This is the kind of thinking that the antis want. You do need a permit in almost every state you need a permit to conceal carry a firearm. To conceal carry a firearm with no permit is a crime.
DUIs are on the rise, well we should have stricter automobile control. Correct? It's the vehicle's fault, if there weren't vehicles, then their would be no automobile accidents. Think of the children!!!!!
