    De-coupling Guns and Alcohol: The path to Gun Sanity

    By erica20 on Fri, 12/21/2012 - 2:19pm |

    Last night I decided that the absolute best way to lower the number of guns in the country and force safer behavior from current owners/users would be to create a nationwide rule that bars a person from touching a gun if their blood alcohol content is over .06.  I believe this would make it substantially less fun to own/use guns, lower the number of accidents and discourage irresponsible persons from the hobby.

    Because as I wrote last night, "What's the point of being prepared for Armageddon if you can't get drunk and shoot varmints with your buddies in the meantime?"

     

    (PS guys, sorry about posting more than perhaps ok but I forgot to add this concept & thought it might deserve its own comment thread.)

    I suddenly realized that my original title "Guns and Alcohol: the Path to Gun Sanity" might not have described what I wanted it to describe.

    If communication were easy, we'd all be doing it.
