        Daily 28 people in the US die in vehicle crashes that involve a drunk driver. This amounts to one death every 53 minutes.

        No. Careless parents who don't lock up the guns do. And criminals who do drive-bys do. Guns are inanimate objects.

        Some guns just sit in a gun safe & do nothing. Well, maybe get driven to the range now & then & shoot paper targets.

        Those tragedies should not be blamed on the American people. Parents need to take responsibility for owning guns.
