While we're making the world safe for the liberty of the drunk or stoned superman, let's prohibit all laws banning the gratuituous discharge of firearms in buildings and busy city streets. Some of us are pretty good shots. Why, I know men who could drill a pigeon or rat at 500 yards as it walked between the feet of a person standing on a sidewalk. Probably wouldn't even touch the person, either.

Heck, let's get the sharpshooter liquored-up or stoned first just to show how truly impressive his aim and control are.

Shazzam! Isn't Liberdopia a fun place to live? Until you actually kill or injure someone, you're safely "in the zone" of unalienable rights.

And if you fail? Well, that's why taxpayers exist: to clean up and pay for your messes after you.

So we punnish people for dangerous behavior based on their potential to engage in it. Brilliant. Do you have bleach in your home? Any gasoline or matches? Got any fertilizer? Firearms? Axes, shovels, machetis? We might just have to send an agent down to evaluate your potential for causing harm. You won't mind, will you?

Here's a question. Should people who drink be allowed to own firearms?

You are right when you say that drug and alcohol abuse are bad for people, but you are wrong when you insist that it is the government's responsibility to legislate and enforce this type of behavior.

If spirituality and morality are your true concerns, then why don't you get out there and spread the Good Word and win some hearts and souls to Jesus to help them forsake sinful ways?

The fact that you rely on government to do for you what you should be doing yourself indicates your unwillingness or ineptness at winning souls and changing hearts.
