NY just passed a new law to protect kids. Now it is a felon, to drive
DWI/DUI with children 15 years of age or less on board.

Not sure if that last sentence is a statement or a snide comment.

a snide comment.

Drunks don't care about anything, even passengers.

And if more laws reduced deaths and DUIs, we would have evidence of this
already, as we have increased the laws.

There is not correlation between increasing laws and people lessening
their
criminal acts. Look at Prohibition.

The Brady Bill was implemented in February of 1994. In 1997, the number of
violent crimes committed with firearms had fallen 25% since 1994, while the
overall number of violent crimes had declined 14%.


Not enough credit is given to the peacemaker, as a tool to keep crime down.
