    Was waiting for that one. Actually society has made a pretty hypocritical stance on drinking and driving. Yes. They value alcohol sales over safety. Unless they mandate breathalyzer equipment to start all vehicles then yes, blood is on our society's hands as well with DUIs. Unless nightclub and restaurant parking lots are filled with cabs and ubers then it's wildly naive to believe that everyone is driving sober when they leave.

    Nobody's calling for prohibition. I'd be fine with breathalyzers as a requirement to start a vehicle and open to any other discussion about legislation that would reduce DUIs outside of all out prohibition. How about you and guns?

    Breathalyzers as a requirement to start a vehicle would be a heinous violation of the 4th Amendment. You’re making my point for me. With our rights come unintended consequences. It doesn’t mean we don’t love our children. Or love them less than guns and booze. We just understand the necessity and purpose of unalienable rights.

    Okay. I said I'm happy with conversation.

    Merely agreeing to conversation doesn't make me a hero.

    And disagreeing with you on policy doesn't make me not care about dead children.

    What's your answer then?

    Give me more than just "do something."

    How do you stop mass shootings?

    Shh... This is Too Hot where nuance and reason aren't allowed. Only grandstanding and shaming.

    Clearly then you don't care about the victims of drunk driving car crashes.

    I’m happy to have a discussion. Generally speaking, I’m not in favor of restricting rights of the People as a whole, due to the actions of a few bad actors.

    Ok "They'll take my guns from the cold dead hands of kids" guy.

    You're really bad at this. Show me where I'm unflinching in my stance about alcohol and DUIs?

    Remember stuff like that when they talk about how “divisive” Trump is. That’s right up there with when he said Mitt Romney wants to put African-Americans back in chains.

    That's not the point. The point is you disagree on policy regarding alcohol and DUIs, therefore, you don't care about dead children.

    Once again, show me where I disagreed with reforming alcohol laws especially as they pertain to commercial establishments. I said I'm against prohibition. I'm also not in favor of "banning guns" so where is the hypocrisy in my stance? You will never solve any issue completely but you can greatly mitigate some. People have to evolve. They don't want to.

    Your idea for “mitigating” drunk driving was extremely unconstitutional.

    Pubs somehow leave context out..... go figure, "
    On the South Lawn of the White House on Tuesday, a reporter asked Biden if he believed that Christians were targeted in the Nashville shooting.


    "I have no idea," Biden responded and when he was told that Hawley believes that Christians were targeted, the president said: "Well, I probably don't then."

    "No, I'm joking," Biden added. "I have no idea."
    So Biden pointing out that he probably doesn't view things as Hawley becomes a disingenuous Pub take. SMH.

    That’s not something you joke about. Substitute homosexuals for Christians in the above. I’m sure Biden’s “joke” would have went over swimmingly. What a douchebag.

    If you're not in favor of banning guns, I guess you care more about guns than the victims of mass shootings.
