Ever heard of drunk drivers causing massive pile-ups and causing the deaths of multiple people involved? Yeah, me too.
No false equivocation when you look at it that way.
Drunk driving fatalities are tragic accidents. I'm not willing to bet there are many people who plan, in advance, to drive drunk and cause a multi-car pileup which kills people.
Mass shootings never happen by accident.
Don't get me wrong, I do not favor a repeal of the second amendment, but I do believe that firearms should be heavily restricted and that strict, multi-level and recurring background checks should be passed before a person may legally possess one. It should not be more difficult to legally drive a car or receive a loan than it is obtain a lethal weapon, but in many parts of my country, this is definitely true.
