A life sentence feels like a lot... But we should be much more willing to permanently revoke licenses.

It does feel like a lot, but how many chances should be given to people who think driving around a loaded weapon while intoxicated is a good idea?

Driving is not a right, and I think if I knew someone kept getting out of jail and waving a loaded gun around at citizens wasn't being taken seriously, I'd have a problem with that, too.

Do you believe this guy had a driver's license, and him having it or not had anything to do with him driving?
