If you think hand guns are a problem, you’ll soon see that these tinted glass casks of fermented brew are quickly catching up to them as a tool for violent crime, murder and mayhem.

Consider the recent events:

Richard Hanson, 21, admits killing 18-year-old girl with broken beer bottle.

Jason Bowman William McMinn fatally beat James Earl Mason, of Morristown, Tenn., with beer bottles in his hotel room and robbed him.

A 27-year-old woman who held a woman down and then slashed her face with a beer bottle earlier this year was sentenced Monday in Washington County Superior Court to 11 years in prison.

A 19-year-old man died after a fight in which he sustained cuts to his face and throat from a broken beer bottle.

A Police officer while responding to a gang fight was hit in the head with a beer bottle and momentarily knocked unconscious.

Here’s another beer bottle attack, and another and a beer bottle bank robbery and an assault and more beer bottle crime here and here and here and here.

The danger is not limited to crime. Here’s a case of a beer bottle exploding in a mans face while he was taking a stock count.

The list of victims is growing everyday. Indeed, it’s long past due for our lawmakers to take action. Until we get these recyclable deadly weapons under control, we are all in grave danger.

I am going to contact my local lawmakers about a piece of legislation I’ve been working on. I’ve named it “The Brewsky Bill” and in it I’ve proposed to implement a five day waiting period with background checks for the purchase of bottled beer.

Also purposed will be the limiting of a 6 pack purchase per person per week. Bottles are not to exceed 12 ounces and as an added precaution, the contents may contain no more than 3.2% alcohol. Finally, to keep our children safe, all refrigerators containing beer bottles will be required have safety locks.

The time to act is now! Remember, people don’t kill people, beer bottles do!
