DUI laws had minimal effect; it's awareness that contributes to less deaths. DUI laws simply added to the local jail populations and put some cash in the coffers. Consider this:
The majority of drunk drivers convicted are not first time offenders.
DUI laws are about making money, not reducing accidents.
My solution, you drive drunk the state impounds your car, end of story. Alex Jones paranoid preppers would be up in arms about this whining about a dictatorship however.
Isn't it ironic that with cars, we punish those that break the rules, via arrests for things like reckless driving, DWI, etc. We don't take cars away from those that obey the laws. We don't restrict the horse power or number of seats to reduce deaths.
Perhaps we should try the same for firearms. Actually punish those that misuse them, rather than those that use them properly and responsibly.
People who commit violence with a gun, as long as they are apprehended, do face criminal charges. So I don't get your point. Nobody is seeking to punish responsible gun owners.

Laws are already in place. Get caught poaching a deer and see what happens. Randomly discharge a firearm in my city and get caught doing it.....see what happens.

You deny rights of law abiding adults to buy alcohol.

100% agree..... MADD came out and made communities aware of the dangers. The Law saw a money making opportunity.
Awareness has a much better effect.
