I haven't read stories lately about a child killing another child with alcohol. You can't compare cars, alcohol, drugs, water and electricity, etc. with guns - it's unrelated and no basis for an argument.

Kind of like the kid who gets caught cheating on a test in school and pleads with the teacher that he shouldn't be punished because Sally was chewing gum in class (also a no-no) and didn't get punished, nor did little Darren who didn't do his homework. The teacher is going to say something like "Fine, but we're not talking about them, we're talking about you!"

(sorry, it's late and I'm tired... best I could come up with..)
