Sen. John Kennedy Compares Gun Violence To Drunk Driving

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) is looking to make an argument in comparing gun violence to drunk driving as he is seeking to defend law-abiding Americans who own guns.

After first calling what has occurred over the past year “tragic” with regard to gun violence, Kennedy said during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, “We have a lot of drunk drivers in America … We ought to try to combat that too.”

He continued during the hearing on steps to reduce gun violence, “But I think what many people on my side of the aisle are saying too is the answer is not to get rid of all sober drivers. The answer is to concentrate on the problem.”

The Republican senator moved on to the topic of terrorism, “We’re often told not to condemn all of the actions of those of the Muslim faith because of the actions of a few. And I agree with that. So why doesn’t that same rule apply to the hundred-million-plus gun owners in America who are exercising their constitutional right?”

  1. Have you noticed a lot of top politicians all drink heavy liquor and their friends so they are not going to make any laws that interfere with that in Washington. That way the lushes can still use your tax dollars flying around the world getting drunk.
