Flamethrowers, Poisoning food, booby traps, vapourizing using alien technology ? Please.

 

Please what? I am doing my best to try and engage the other side of this argument. Give me a realistic explanation why the gun should be the focus of this tragedy. I have explained very well how a number of other devices could easily be used to achieve similar results.

well the issue is the combination of having both.  At least the kid would have a fighting chance if the dad didn't have a gun.  If the dad was extremely drunk it shouldn't be that hard to get away the dad probably can't even walk straight.  It takes a hell of a lot more guts to get a knife and stab someone than to use a gun also.  You can easily get drunk and start pointing a gun around, but you aren't gonna get drunk and forcefully stab someone without having some idea what you're doing. 

There's no realistic way you can get rid of alcohol no matter how long we talk about it.  Getting rid of guns is realistic (although in the US' case it is quite difficult) and many countries do it.  Is there any country that has a ban on alcohol?  I don't know of one.  The US tried it once and it failed miserably. 

yes all middle eastern countries (except lebanon i guess and egypt only allows non muslims to drink) ban alcohol.
