You always selectively pick the less than worst cause to demand banning.
Cars kill 36,000 per year.
Alcohol related barely goes over 10,000.
10,000 is insignificant.
Like the veteran suicides that outnumber murders.
Once again, you just pick and choose who you want to target, based on personal feelings, not by the most lives destroyed.
10,000 deaths at the hands of drunk drivers is "insignificant"???? Is that what Libertarians think???? What if 1 of those 10,000 was your wife, or child, or mother or father or even yourself???? Still INSIGNIFCNT????
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

I said:
"insignificant.
Like the veteran suicides that outnumber murders."
Which Box ignores as not pertinent, or insignificant in the overall picture when he posts his firearms death propaganda.
Veteran suicide is as big an issue as drunk driving deaths.
Nearly the same numbers, but we don't send out the police from coast to coast.
Too busy passing gun regulations targeting legal responsible gun owners, to worry about the tens of thousands of vets dying by the use of firearms.
For half the money that we spend on law enforcement, we could have free taxis for all drunk people.

Yup, INSIGNIFICANT...as in too small or unimportant...so again, 10,000 deaths at the hands of drunk drivers is unimportant Is that what Libertarians think???? What if 1 of those 10,000 was your wife, or child, or mother or father or even yourself???? Still too small and unimportant???? Your hatred of military is well known, so stop using that as cover for not answering the question...it was a direct question based on your comment that 10,000 deaths at the hands of drunk drivers is "insignificant"! Drunk drivers, not military suicides or anything else...DRUNK DRIVERS!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
There are 253 million cars and trucks on the road in the U.S. There are 10k alcohol related deaths. You're a businessman, is that statistically significant? Over 99% will not be involved in an alcohol related fatal car crash. To L4L's point, there is a higher risk a veteran feels the negative emotional effects of the war, including taking their own life.

Yup, you too. If you want to jump into the discussion, then trying answering the direct question without your biased BS for a change.

This thread has degenerated into sh*t and has nothing to do with 'Rand Paul, And The Truth'
I need me some Boxnews regarding Rand Paul.
Or the credibility of ABC News. I think I'll start that one tomorrow

RAND PAUL Says according to recent polls, no Republican candidate "is doing better against Hillary Clinton than myself."
Not according to PolitiFact:
Quoted Text
The big picture shows nearly any Republican candidate getting approximately 40 percent of the vote when matched up against Clinton, so it’s hard to argue that any particular candidate is in the lead in this regard. One poll shows Paul with the highest support among Republicans against Clinton. But the size of the margin of error allows for the possibility that Paul might, in reality, be behind other Republican candidates. Additionally that is the only poll that shows Paul with a lead.
Because it’s hard to say if any candidate, so far out from the 2016 election, is the clear frontrunner in a hypothetical race against Clinton, we rate Paul’s claim Mostly False.

FEB 13, 2015 Rand Paul caught lying about his college record Senator's office forced to admit that he never graduated from Baylor University
Quoted Text
Ophthalmologist-turned-politician Rand Paul may have a medical degree from Duke University, but the Kentucky senator and likely 2016 presidential candidate never completed his undergraduate education at Baylor University. So why did Paul assert twice yesterday that he holds two bachelor’s degrees from the institution?
The senator embellished his record during an appearance at the Lincoln Labs “Reboot Congress” event Thursday. In two instances highlighted by Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler, Paul falsely suggested that he had obtained undergraduate degrees.

“Right now, the Republican brand sucks. I promised Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, that I would stop saying the GOP sucks, and I will (except for this last time.)”

Rand Paul has a problem: “He isn’t running for the Democratic nomination. And though Paul may think his Republican Party’s brand sucks, the primary voters don’t necessarily share his view that the party is too old and too white. His candidacy has so far failed to ignite — and, indeed, he seems to be fading as a force within the party.”
“The most recent national poll, by Fox News, has Paul in sixth place, with 7 percent, trailing Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee and Marco Rubio. Paul averages only about half the support he had late in 2013. Paul doesn’t appear to be winning over young voters — perhaps the most important justification for his candidacy — and does not do better than other Republicans.”

Rand Paul promised to make Nevada a ‘sovereign state’

HOLLAND, Mich. — Republican presidential hopeful Rand Paul made his rounds in Michigan this weekend.
Paul stopped a long the lake-shore on Saturday, where he discussed what’s setting him apart from the other candidates in the Republican party.
“I like coming back to Michigan. I’ve been here several times and I actually have some family that lives in the Holland area, so we are always excited to come home,” said Senator Paul.
Stopping in west Michigan on Saturday, Kentucky Senator and Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, met with voters in Holland, making note of his triumphs in the state.
“We want to win Michigan and right now we are doing better against Hilary Clinton than any republican. In fact where states won by President Obama, we lead Hilary Clinton in five of those states and I think that’s because we attract independents,” said Paul.
Paul said what sets him apart is his appeal to younger voters and minorities, and wanting to simplify the federal government.
“I’ve spent time in Michigan this time in Detroit, Highland Park, Flint, going to a lot of places that republicans haven’t gone to let people know that I’m a different kind of republican and I’m going to appeal to voters of the working class, of the business class, rich, poor, white black. We are going to appeal for all votes,” said Paul.
Paul said that his mission to stop the NSA from obtaining personal information about the average American is helping his campaign gain more support.
“The more the better because my candidacy is unique in that I’m the only one out there that’s been trying to defend the right to privacy, the fact that the NSA shouldn’t be looking at all of our phone records. That’s a unique position for me in the republican field,” said Paul.
Prison reform and changing the tax code is also on his priority list.
“Maybe we have gone too far in the war on drugs and that we ought to find a different way to approach this. Maybe to give some of our kids a second chance who made mistakes growing up,” said Paul. “I’m going to eliminate the entire tax code and have one single tax rate, 14.5% for businesses, and 14.5% for individuals. So one single tax rate and I would get rid of the entire 70 pages of the tax code. People would be able to file their tax return on one page,” said Paul.
When asked about presidential hopeful Lindsey Graham’s statement to Fox News on Friday, where he said the network was unfairly leaving out candidates in their August debate by limiting the amount of participants to 10, Paul said that he’s confident he will still be in the running.
“I think that there will be some candidates more serious than others and I think we will leave that up to the party and the networks to figure out,” said Paul.
Saturday’s visit in Holland was a part of the “Stand with Rand” tour.
On immigration issues, Paul has also announced plans to stop federal funding for any “sanctuary” cities who he said aren’t abiding by the federal law.
