  • Anyone know the make up of the Ohio Supreme Court? As in how many judges and how many of those are lefties? If they have the majority I see them using this as back door gun control...so naturally it will end up in federal court..IF this is upheld you can bet your ass Maryland will be next and way more draconian...I can see Md trying to pass a bill that prohibits gun owners from drinking at home at all....even banning alcohol in our homes...yep....

    How the f0ck did this make it past the first hurdle, let alone get to the highest State court?

    So, I guess .mil can't drink at home. I guess LEOs can't drink at home. What about heavy machine operators...

    I mean, I can see how if you have a elf defense shooting and are found to be intoxicated police/prosecutors are going to (would need to) look a lot closer at the evidence and your statements/witnesses before just taking for granted it was a justified self defense shooting.

    Was that guy really breaking through the door? Or did you just drunkenly shoot some Mormon on a mission trip?

    But no, drinking or being drunken in your home...hell on your own property, and being in possession of a firearm isn’t a damn crime. Now if you are hunting or target shooting or something while drunk/drinking...

    But that isn’t the issue at question here.

    I've heard stats as high as 50%. Where, 50% of both victims AND perpetrators of homicide were under the influence of alcohol. This has nothing at all do with with home defense, just crime in general.

    Where users of alcohol are screwing up is... in most cases not understanding that it is in fact a drug. I get a little chuckle when known avid users of alcohol (here and in life in general) proclaim how dangerous other recreational drugs are. There's never stats noted, a vast majority of the time the person preaching has no experience with any other drugs,..... but somehow knows they're bad.

    Many times when I've talked (and joked) here about how the govt should look in to banning alcohol and nicotine, it was for nothing more than to draw attention to how ridicilous it is that the govt is involved AT ALL.

    But, never fail.... many will show up to defend their drug of choice, talk about how it's fully legal for use, never hurt them, is an American past time, etc. etc. I'm not going to post links to alcohol related deaths, stats, so on. Everyone already pretty much knows and chooses to ignore the facts and figures of something that contradicts what they believe.

    Well they should just BAN alcoholic beverages at the National level. :innocent0

    Exactly

    I've never seen this quote, but FULLY agree.

    We need people to run for office at all levels on ROLLING BACK law, getting rid of 3 for every one new, etc.

    There are a growing number of us out there whom move around in life SAFELY and without effecting others, but rarely give two fvcks about what the actual law might be. Life is too short to be ruled 24/7.

    3 for 1 would be a great start, as long as the 1 does not supersede the other three. :)

    I’ll defend my drug of choice, alcohol, but I am well aware it kills about 80,000 people a year. I’d be fine if we wanted to push better education about it. I think we need tougher DUI laws. I also think we need single payer health care that includes better drug and alcohol treatment compared to the for profit private industry today that is barely regulated.

    But I do not support banning it or restricting ABV, how much you can buy at once or possess. Etc.

    Some overlap there with guns. I think we can push gun safety and education on safe storage better. I think we can fund needs based residential storage containers so poor people can afford a lock box to keep a gun away from kids in their house. I am all about harsh sentences that get UP HELD for people committing violent crimes with guns (or just simply violent crimes). I am about single payer health care that covers better mental health care. I am for better understanding some of the straw purchase patterns and what not to try to root out gangs getting guns and stuff.

    I am not for ammunition purchase limits. Restricting what I can own. Etc.

    PS if we really want to get on a tear about my “socialist views” lack of affordable health care is responsible for hundreds of thousands of people dying in the US every year do to delayed or forgone medical care, lack of preventative health screenings, etc.
