      Tell that to the 40k+ people who are killed every year in the USA from basically negligent people driving (large portion of that being alcohol related). My guns have never taken anyone’s life, and the odds of them doing so is so damn small, that I’d probably win the lottery before they’re used against another human.

        Drunk driving and our terrible drinking culture is an entirely different crisis altogether. I don’t understand why you’re trying to draw parallels here (no matter how weak)? Both are bad things.

        Neither have mine but I don’t have my head so far in the sand to not understand that guns are designed to kill things.

          Don’t bother. Check their comment history and just move on. What hurts them most is being ignored like they are in the rest of their life.
