Both. They can both kill equally. A drunk driver can kill the driver and another driver(s) but you have less chance of dying than a gun.
-
A loaded gun isn't dangerous at all is it? Unless somebody shoots it... Whereas a drunk driver is active, and thus extremely dangerous..
-
A DRUNK DRIVER every time. A loaded gun does not mean a pointed gun, and it is usually under control. A car driven by a drunk is A ton of out of control metal and gasoline that can kill dozens in one drunken mistake
-
Meh...A drunk driver.. I think it has a higher potential in hurting someone...but a gun can do the same, it really depends on how you look at it
-
It's a skewed comparison. The car is the "loaded gun" in the drunk-driver scenario - so you are really asking what is more dangerous, a weapon or a reckless person. Either one on its own is less dangerous than a matched pair. But to even it out and ask which is more dangerous, a drunk driver with a car, or a reckless person carrying a loaded gun? I'd say that they're both incredibly dangerous, and wouldn't want either one anywhere near my family.
-
Depends on which one you happen to be in front of.
-
Assuming the loaded gun just sits there, a drunk driver. i would not want either one near me, but statistically, many more people are killed by drunk drivers.
-
a drunk driver with a loaded gun.
-
It depends on in who's hands the loaded gun is in now doesn't it. Seeming how the average person has a part of their brain which prevents them from killing another human being and the average person doesn't drive too well when drunk I would say a drunk driver.
-
a drunk driver.there is more of a chance you will see a drunk driver than you will a loaded gun.
-
How about a drunk person with a loaded gun? Sort of like in "Biloxi Blues'.
-
it depends how much bullets.... a gun can kill a certain amount of people but a drunk drive can run into a bus a buling a public area and kill maybe more than 10 poeple a drunk driver is by far more dangerous and had a lot more potential of death
-

-
the drunk driver. the gun has to be touched. the drunk driver is already touched.
-
I think more people get drunk drivers than by guns but im not sure. How about a Drunk driver with a loaded gun. Thats a pretty dangerous combo.
-
Assuming the gun isn't in the hands of a belligerent person, I'd have to say the drunk driver is more dangerous. But that's no reason to become complacent about gun violence, nor to stop drinking provided you don't drive afterward.
-
Depends who holds the gun? Both should be outlawed permanently.
-
Depends on the environment. Conditions surrounding the individual circumstance. Both are dangerous but one could be more than the other.
