It's absolutely illegal to be in possession of any firearm while intoxicated. And if you are a habitual abuser of alcohol (alcoholic) or illegal drugs, it's illegal for you to even OWN one.mistermack wrote:I did say fair enough to that. Not giving a toss is a bit strong.

I never said they were exactly analogous. I was simply addressing your comment about gun nuts not giving a toss about death and injury so long as other people pay the price.
A lot of crocodile tears are shed, but nothing ever changes.
Cars are actually highly regulated, compared to guns. You have to pass a test, and it's illegal to drive drunk.
Not so with guns. It's illegal to be drunk in charge of a moped. Is it illegal to be drunk in charge of a gun? ( I don't actually know the answer to that ).
Guns are THE most controlled and regulated consumer product on the market, bar none. Just because you have no idea what those regulations and controls are doesn't mean they don't exist, it just proves how ignorant you are.
