William Branham said ''you let a drunk man get out here on the street with...his automobile. That man ought to have at least ten years in prison. You let a man go down the street this morning with a--with a pistol in his hand shooting around like that, they'd throw the keys away on that guy. They'd send him to the inner jails. And then a drunk man can come down the street. He's absolutely just as much in danger of killing somebody as a man is with a pistol, and he gets five dollars for it or something. See? See, he--he's, It's almost premeditated murder.''
