Not at all. Unless I hit someone with my car.

Your using the same logic as the anti-gun lobby.

Because 100% of all gun fatalities are caused by guns, we should get rid of all guns. And because 100% of all alcohol-related vehicle fatalities are caused by drunk drivers, we should get rid of all drunk drivers.

Guns don't kill people, a very small percentage of gun users do.

Drunk drivers don't kill people, a very small percentage of them do.

Again, by arresting someone who has a BAC of .08 simply because he falls into a category of people who MIGHT end up hurting someone else is no different than throwing all black males between the ages of 14-24 into prison because they MIGHT (and are statistically much more likely to) commit a crime.

There is no might about it. .08 is a group that harms people. There is no IF about it.

Booze doesn't kill people.....people who drink irresponsibly and drive do.

This is hardly the logic of someone that is anti gun!

That is my logic sir....it isn't the booze that kills people....its the people who use it....just like guns.

If I follow your "logic" to it's logical conclusion no traffic laws should be enforced until the smoke clears, and the bodies are tallied. Is that correct?
