It works so well with guns.
- XorNot 7y agoDrugs are a thing which destroys the user. Guns destroy everybody else.
- Finch2192 7y agoWell, to be fair, and we're on course to veer right off topic -- a large majority of gun deaths are suicides.
- baby 7y agoNot sure why you’re being downvoted.
- tasty_freeze 7y agoFollowing up Finch's reply, which said: "a large majority of gun deaths are suicides." Specifically, in the US, 60% are suicides. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/16/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/16/what-the-da...
- empath75 7y agoAs a gun owner you’re far more likely to commit suicide than murder.
- XorNot 7y agoNobody accidentally discharges drugs into the adjoining house.
- Wohlf 7y agoYou must not have experience with drugs abusers then, they destroy families and communities.
- dpix 7y agoBut guns in America are not regulated. In most countries guns are legal just heavily regulated. A completely black market for guns would lead to things that could blow up in your hand or explode at any time, the same as unregulated drugs
- DuskStar 7y agoGuns are pretty heavily regulated in the US though? Many kinds you can't buy at all, and those you can require background checks. (A lot of people seem to think that there are fewer restrictions on guns than there actually are, and that's before you bring individual states into the equation) It's just everywhere else is even more outrageously restricted, which makes the US look liberal in comparison... But to call guns unregulated in the states is to say that cars (among many other things) are completely unregulated too.

- refurb 7y agoGuns are most certainly regulated in the US and quite heavily. You can’t make a gun to sell without an ATF license. All guns must have serials numbers and customers pre-screened. And that’s just federal law. Many states have even greater regulations.
