It’s against the law to drink and drive, but (statistics from MADD website):

1. Teen alcohol use kills 4,300 people each year – that’s more than all illegal drugs combined.
2. Every day in America, another 28 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes. That’s one person every 53 minutes.
3. Drunk driving costs each adult in the united states over $500 per year, and costs the united states $132 billion a year.
4. 57% of fatally injured drivers had alcohol and/or other drugs in their system – 17% had both.
5. 50 to 75 percent of convicted drunk drivers continue to drive on a suspended license.

Obviously, the law didn’t/doesn’t stop the above from happening. Further, when the federal government outlawed alcohol the results were disastrous for society. The point being that the problem lies with individuals, and just having laws in place doesn’t stop destructive human behavior.

“Because strict gun control works so well in California...”

Tehema County is one of 35 out of our 58 counties where it’s relatively easy to get a CACCW permit. But the real question is, what was he doing out on bail after a violent personal attack. If you want to attack California for something, make it on our relatively new criminal laws that have reduced a bunch of levels of crimes and added in a new level called “infractions.” Now in CA, property crimes that involve less than a $900 loss, are now infractions where cops have no choice but to issue a citation and let the perp go.
