"Of all of the acquaintances I have had in my long lifetime,I have known of 6 or 7 that have had guns pointed at them by police (all traffic stops, except for one)."

Are you sure it wasn't 10 or 20 times? ;)

If a drunk-driver killed your spouse would you want the cops to stay out of it then, or would you prefer to find the perp yourself and pop 'em?

I think I see what your problem is... You expect the 100,000 or so laws that are on the books today to get revenge for you.

My opinion is that we would do well to reduce the number of commandments to 10, and society would be better off.

Someone who accidentally kills your spouse because he is stupid or tired or sleepy or a poor driver, or, yes, drunk... does not deserve to be "popped", as you put it... I think you are a closet liberal.
