Apples and oranges. How can one use the drugs in a moment of anger to harm others like guns?True someone can go on a rampage and throw bunch of pills and kill dozens.Just like you will be more likely to get killed in your own car, or get killed in your own swimming pool.
You people on the left are constantly telling us how drugs should be legal, and for those that kill themselves with the drugs, that's their problem. But when it comes to guns, make guns illegal so you don't irresponsibly accidentally kill yourself with it.
Dude the world is laughing at you, more guns more deaths.....why are you so thick ?
When a person sells another drugs, it kills other people.
Because of millions of guns in the US there are thousands of deaths, school shootings, domestic homicides and so much more than other countries with less or no guns ? How did i know , I've lived in one and visited many with hardly any guns.
In some countries a gun incident is a national news story for days, in the US is a meh!!!
We also have a high amount of auto deaths compared to other countries as well, because we have more automobiles than all the others. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
If you take a nice safe middle-class suburb, write a law that all residents must own a firearm, their murder rate won't change one iota. Now go to a high crime lower income neighborhood, and make all guns illegal there. Their murder rate will continue to be high.
If you take away guns, they'll use cars. Take away cars, they'll use bombs. Take away bombs, they'll use clubs. Take away clubs, they'll use knives.
After murder rate passes NYC, London Mayor Sadiq Khan calls for sharper knife control
Funny you should bring up NYC. It has one of the lowest Violent Crime Rates in the Nation including Violent Gun Crimes. With a rate of 2.4 per 100K, that's right down there with MOST Rural areas. I already posted that cite on that so you can scream "Cite, Cite, Cite" til you are blue in the face on this one. You are just as likely to get shot and killed in upstate Vermont as you are in down town NYC. Next time, I suggest you pick another city when you go to spin a yarn that you haven't researched. Who knows, you might accidently get it right for a change.
The last bombing attempt was done by a Rightwinger and he sent pipe bombs to left wingers. he just didn't send the triggers with them so they didn't go off. Your Bomb crap is right up there with Election Fraud where the most likely Voter Fraud for 2016 and 2018 was done by Republican Party Members who were bagged with post election audits. You know, the thing that you Republicans want to underfund.
New York did see a reduction of crime, but that was mostly from Stop and Frisk which allowed police officers to stop people they suspected being illegally armed. It took a while, but now the word is on the street that policy has been reminded, and it's going in the opposite direction now.
