Delta and United join list of companies to cut ties with the NRA - maybe this truly is the end of gun rights in the US?

This guy murdered 3 teenagers/young adults drunk driving and was released on bail: http://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/camillus-man-accused-of-driving-drunk-killing-3-people-released-from-jail-on-bail/989969759

If a guy shot up 3 teenagers the NRA would get attacked; the second amendment would be under threat; the shooter would get life in prison/death penalty (rightfully so); constant media coverage; etc. etc.

Another drunk driver who has had 2 DUIs in the past killed someone and only got 4 years in prison.

If you drink then you have no room to complain about guns.

Do you need a drivers license to operate a car? Can you loose that license if you are a reckless driver? Well, apply that principle to gun ownership and you would come a long way. And I did not know the purpose of alcohol was to use it as a weapon, good to know =) 

There are 2 major differences:

1. Once again, if you blame the NRA or all gun owners on a mass shooting then I can blame all drinkers on drunk driving kills. Not to mention almost the majority of gun violence is due to alcohol. Most crime in America has an alcoholic component. Want to save lives? Then get rid of alcohol. (And yes, I know prohibition is a mess which is why I think instead of prohibition we need tougher anti-drunk laws).

2.  "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
