Perhaps I should rethink my opposition to gun ownership

This incident brings new meaning to the phrase, "friends don't let friends drive drunk." Unable to persuade his friend not to drive back to Indianapolis after a night of drinking in Bloomington, Indiana, a man shot out two tires on his car.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving informs us that 17,013 people were killed in alcohol-related car accidents in the United States in 2003. That's an average of nearly one person every half-hour.

Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Right there, in that bottle of Jim Bean.
