OK, let's follow your logic. Drunk divers kill and mane thousands each year. Drunks are also responsible for many domestic killings and beatings. According to your logic on gun control, the best way to control alcohol abuse is to further restrict the law abiding. We can start by restricting the legal blood alcohol limit of everyone to .08% (the legal driving limit in many states). All alcohol containers should require a serial number that is recorded at time of sale. Special permits will be required for any purchase. You'll have to blow into a breathalyze to prove you're not in violation of the law before being served each drink at a bar or restaurant. Spirits that contain more then 10% alcohol will be banned.
It won’t stop the abusers, but since they’re already breaking current laws, the only solution is to enact further laws and restrictions on the responsible users of alcohol, right? Total lunacy, especially in a “free society”, but it makes as much sense as the additional restrictions you and others want to impose on responsible gun owners.
Now, to address the 2nd part of your post about the white collar criminals not going to jail, because we did not have regulations to criminalize their actions. Murder is already a capital offense. But, by your argument murder is not a sufficient crime to charge a killer with. The only way to properly prosecute a killer is to have dozens of additional gun law violations to charge him with. Dude, do you actually read the stuff you post?
