You are aware of what a DWI is, right?
And the last time I checked, this thread is about seat belt laws, not alcohol. That's probably the same reason why the gun stats were removed, because they have nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
Like I said earlier, if you want to debate the merits of gun control or alcohol laws, then start a new thread about those. Right now, we're talking about seat belts.
You're doing what's called a logical fallacy. You can't argue for the repeal of one law because another law doesn't exist. That's like saying we shouldn't devote an entire week of television to sharks because more humans die from electrocution. One has nothing to do with the other.
People can be killed from slipping on their front porch. Should we outlaw front porches?
People can be killed by falling space junk. Should we outlaw satellites?
People can be killed by getting hit in the head from a rock launched by a lawn mower. Should we outlaw all landscaping equipment?
See how ridiculous those arguments are? The same goes for your gun control and alcohol arguments. They have nothing to do with seat belts.
