You're comparing alcohol to guns when you should really be comparing the car to guns. The car is the tool which was used to kill in the incident just like the gun is the weapon to kill. The difference is, cars were designed for transportation and guns were designed to kill. Also, drunk drivers don't intentionally kill people, whereas when people shoot other people, the intention is to kill as that is what the weapon was designed for.

It takes a person with morals to operate both a firearm and car in a safe manner, guns do not shoot themselves as car do not run people over.I'm not bashing drinking, and I love to spend the night getting tanked,which is why I walk to and from the bar. Getting behind the wheel drunk and driving,then killing someone is basically negligent murder,whatever your intentions were.

the gun itself has no intention. it can be used as a weapon, much like anything else

The gun, was designed as a weapon of war, with the purpose of killing people. yes it's function is the fire a projectile, but it was designed to do so with the intention to cause death. It is in no way comparable to a car, which was designed as a form of transportation.

Again, the car is the comparison to the gun, not alcohol. A tool designed for transportation vs a tool designed to kill people.

And how do you operate a firearm in a safe manner? By not using it at all.... (with exception of perhaps hunting or shooting ranges)

Can you explain what you mean by this? Isn't society the exact opposite - most people don't think for themselves and are hardly considered 'individualised'. Perhaps we need a more individualised society, but I think you're talking about the "everybody for themselves" mindset?

Yes, the "everybody for themselves" mindset.
