It's not the gun shop's fault. It's perfectly legal in the US to own guns. Should it be? maybe, maybe not

Yes, I know it is (legal to). But shops typically should do a background check beforehand. That's what I'm meaning about. |

Some tragedies happen even when you take every reasonable precaution. The Virginia Tech shooter was a man who wasn't even legally own guns-and he had them anyway. In my locale, the police have arrested a large number of drunken drivers in recent times, and these people have had suspended drivers' licenses and past criminal convictions for drunken driving. This is actually a far worse prospect, as far more people are killed by drunken drivers than random shooters, if you look at public records.

Type 97... you hit the nail on the head about Drunk Drivers. They do get news coverage, but only locally, and for 2 minutes before weather and sports (well, not really, but it still is treated pretty minorly). And given how dangerous it is, and it's common sense to not get hammered and endanger everyone in their path, people still do it anyway, when they should really be tried for attempted murder in the fouth degree or something like that. But that's another rant for another day.
