So you'd prefer to hold drivers responsible? I don't disagree. The
anguish of a parent whose kid was killed by a drunk driver (I know two
of them personally) is similar to that of a parent of a kid who was
killed by someone with a gun who shot indiscriminately. I suspect that
it's worse if they were shot *intentionally*. That must be utterly
devastating. I've been listening to the parents of those kids in
Newtown and they sound worse than shattered.

I also hold gun owners responsible for keeping their guns out of the
hands of criminals -- like they do in the countries whose gun laws so
many gun-rightists seem to admire.


Then you believe that Hertz and Avis and even dealerships should be
responsible for any death or injury involving any vehicles sold/rented
by them?

Hows that working out for you?

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
