What would happen if people were held accountable for their actions? If the laws were written such that the person was responsible for their actions regardless of whether they were drunk or did not know that the gun was loaded. In turn there would be no lower age limit to drive, drugs (including
over the counter, prescription, alcohol, and illegal) would not be
regulated, guns would not require registration, and so on. But if
someone died as a result YOU would be held accountable, not the gun or
drug, you would be charged with murder, not manslaughter or accidental
motor vehicle homicide, but MURDER, and you would receive a life
punishment such as life in prison? Do you think that murder rates would
drop?
