subject: DUI vs. `The Gun`

For those of you who have been following the latest move by El Presidente
and Chucky Putz Schummer, et al. to outlaw imported "assault" weapons,
it should come as no suprise that DUI deaths far exceed those by firearm.
There are, in any given year, in excess of 17,000 DUI related fatalities
in this country.  This is far less than the number of people who die as a
result of gunshot wounds.  
However, those who claim they are so concerned with public safety, the 
lives of innocent children, and the "carnage" that firearms create in
our society, are for some inexplicable reason, SILENT when it comes to
the number one killer in society today. 
Does anyone have an idea as to why that might be?
It's obvious that Teddy Kennedy, who is responsible for ONE alcohol/driving
related fatality, won't challenge the liquor industry or try to introduce
alcohol control legislation. 
The interesting thing is that there is an agency in the Federal government
in place that could handle booze control. It's ATF. The "A" does stand
for Alcohol, after all.
The sad fact of reality is that those who champion gun control aren't
concerned about public safety. They want the American public disarmed.
Pure and simple. The question that remains to be answered is "WHY?"
