Hi D&O,

I share your outrage with drivers using cellphones!

Its illegal in NY, yet if I had a dollar for every time I witnessed a driver on the damn cellphone....

I would like to make a citizens arrest, that's HOW dangerous this is!

That said, we can deals with more than one important issue at a time.
And keep in mind how many have responded to the suggestion of a ban on assault weapons, they are buying them as fast as they can....

Would you be willing to lose the right to bear arms to bring back the lives of those twenty children? Because that is the way to save their lives from armed killers.

Would you be willing to lose the right to talk on your cell phone while driving to bring back the lives of the twenty times a hundred? Because that is the way to save their lives from idiotic cell phone distracted drivers.

I probably should've kept my mouth shut, sorry. And this wan't meant to be pointed directly at you or any other participants. Nor is this even really a commentary on the gun debate. (I'm somewhere in the middle on that and so of no particular interest to either side.) Just interjecting one of my pet peeves...automobile deaths caused by idiots and distracted drivers.

Tens of thousands of automobile deaths year after year, decade after decade....and as the auto manufacturers continue to increase safety equipment, the idiots found phones and texts to keep themselves increasingly distracted.

I'm much more worried about being hit, injured, and possibly killed by a distracted and/or inattentive driver than I am some dipsh*t with a gun.

"According to the federal government, the number of people killed in automobile-related deaths annually is approximately three times higher than the number of people killed by all gun-related deaths combined -- handgun, shotgun, and rifle."

Where is the outrage? Why am I one of the few that is tired of dodging idiots that are looking at a little screen instead of the road? How many children died in auto accidents last year? How many of those weren't "people caused"?
