Not the same. One of these things is illegal while the other is.

Using that logic, anyone who has been in an accident caused by a drunk driver should be calling for bans on all cars (and not just for punishing the drunk drivers).

You stole my thunder.

IMHO, you are missing the point, or at least, how I see the issue. If I am hit by a drink driver, and spend 6 months in the hospital, do I blame the driver, alcohol or the car? Which one should I try to get banned? Using the case of the Giffords and their position, you would ban the car, or at lease ban alcohol.

I am not against anyone having traumatic experiences and having a change of view; that's what makes us human. I am against you trying to blame something it was not and take it away from responsible people.

Now, I have to find people that will stand with me to ban automobiles, alcohol and stupid people because we have drunk drivers.
