Drunk driving laws are just ways for the city to make money off of people. That's why they have lowered the blood/alcohol level so far that you can use Listerine mouthwash and blow "drunk".

Not true.

No. They take drunk drivers off of the street and save you and your loved ones from being hurt or killed.

Yes, the system is broken, but the stats don't lie.

That's why what you said happens all the time. And the "law" doesn't stop it one bit.

The law puts criminals behind bars.

What is a "normal" person? Someone who gets behind the wheel after drinking too much, breaking the law, and potentially causing a car accident which can result in death?

No, not just like gun laws. Cars are made for transportation. Alcohol is made to be a recreational drug to be consumed responsibly. Guns are made for 1 reason only, to kill. Gun laws should be put in place to stop criminals, drug users, alcoholics etc from being able to own or carry a gun.
Furthermore, Too many idiots are now way out of control thanks to constant and never ending fear mongering making them think that they are going to lose the rights to carry their guns. "Use it or lose it" is their latest battle cry. What they don't seem to understand is that the constitution protects their rights to carry a gun. Those fucking hillbillies at those restaurants in the southern US don't understand a fucking thing. All they want to do is play cowboys with their 'kin, regardless of how many people they scare".
I don't know if you are a gun owner or not, but if you are, YOU should be the one upset about this, not me.

So then by your logic, all laws should be abolished?

And perverts shooting underage shit? They STILL shoot it.
But how can that be? There is a LAW after all.

Anyone who knows anything about this knows that the real intent of the law was to try to make it much much harder for porn companies to stay in business. "Legit" porn companies never made CP in the past and still wouldn't today, regardless of 2257. Your comparison of gun laws to 2257 is weak.

So, now you are comparing your suffering to the parents of some poor kid who has his brains shot out at School? Maybe you're comparing your suffering to some poor guy who lost his wife to a gun shot? Maybe the extra record keeping you have to do is makes you suffer more than Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords who was shot in the head?

I'm pretty sure that someone over at

No dude that is not at all how it works. You have just about everything ass-backwards.

They do not stop crimes before they happen. They impose (hopefully) harsh penalties on people that commit those crimes. Do you really think the world would be a better place without laws?

No, it doesn't. The laws help you sleep at night. The laws protect you and your family who are I'm sure, all good law abiding citizens. The laws make sure you have clear air to breath and pure water to drink. The laws also let you say anything you're allowed to say, and let you buy a gun if you want to, and let you watch or make your own kind of porn. Everything you have said in this post has been dead wrong from the beginning.

So then how can they be arrested for a crime that is not a crime yet?
