This could not be more incorrect. I don't even think you actually believe this.

It already did in CA.
Quote:MADD got the law changed so that .08 was the legal limit for a DUI conviction. They wanted to lower it to .06 but they were not successful.
You mean they had the momentum to get the limit changed to .08? I do appreciate your making my point for me, that they got what they initially wanted and then tried to get more. They likely failed as .06 BAC is so low that a smaller person (especially a woman) who had a glass or two of wine with dinner is at risk of having their lives ruined.

Do you think people who want to outlaw all guns are "extremists" or "main stream"?
A person who wants to outlaw all guns is absolutely an extremist. A person seeking to outlaw all semi-automatic weapons is unfortunately much more common. I'd like to say that such a person is an extremist, but I don't think what I've seen on various media sources allows me to logically come to that conclusion.
