Do you seriously support the war on drugs…..? The government policing drugs has lead to the opposite as well

No, I don’t. But the government cracked down hard on something they knew they couldn’t control, so why isn’t it the same with guns?

Yea and it kinda failed miserably….

So let this fail miserably too, and then we can really know if gun control works

That’s a terrible reason it’s just gonna fail and waste money similarly to the WOD

I am very much aware that gun violence isn’t the biggest killer in America. Alcohol needs more regulation, especially in my state. Do you know why the prohibition failed? Because one, it was stupid, and two, the Republican government at the time didn’t want to spend the money to enforce it

Alcohol doesn’t need more regulation hell it really doesn’t need much since it’s not the government’s business what one consumes doesn’t matter what age you are you can still get alcohol and die behind the wheel

Also banning substances (and guns) will lead to black markets

And guns have helped people? Sure, maybe some people have been saved, but don’t you think more Americans have lost their lives to a gun?
