Guns Versus DUI Violence

  • Wednesday, May 22, 2019

Every day, 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes on average. In 2010, 10,228 people died in drunk driving crashes – one every 52 minutes – and 345,000 were injured.

In 2010, people killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes accounted for nearly one-third (31 percent) of all traffic-related deaths.

If their is genuine concern for loss of life then open your conversation to allow for prohibition of alcohol sales.

May as well stop knife sales too unless your agenda is limited.
