Alcohol is known to limit one’s thoughts, emotions and judgments, as it minimizes a person’s inhibitions. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that alcohol was a factor in 40% of violent crimes committed in the United States. Published studies have reported that 86% of homicide offenders had been drinking alcohol prior to the crime. What do these statistics suggest? Guns should be allowed in bars, of course.
It’s simple logic when one thinks about it. If Person A were to attend a party where alcohol was present and Person B went to a party where alcohol was not present, obviously Person B would be more likely to drink alcohol than Person A. If a bar permits guns, it’s then logical to believe there will be fewer gunshots fired in that bar than in such an establishment which has banned firearms.
While Democrats are more known to support gun control measures than Republicans, there were even some members of the GOP whom voted against this bill, such as Mike Duffey of Worthington. When asked if he wants guns in bars, he stated, “My common sense tells me no” and went on to say, “There are always limitations to every right and freedom, and our rights generally end when someone else’s life starts. I don’t play games with that.”
On January 13th of this year, a man, whom was eating dinner at Raffa’s in Kingwood, Texas, accidentally shot a 71-year old grandmother, Diana Barker, as his .38 derringer fell out of his coat pocket and shot Ms. Barker in the buttocks. To this day, the bullet is lodged inside of her.
To which Ms. Barker would attest, the only shots in a bar should be of a liquid entering one's mouth and not a bullet penetrating that very mouth and killing a person. Jack Daniels and Coke might mix well. Alcohol and guns do not.
