I've made a similar argument. However, as we know, drug prohibitions never work and cause more deaths.http://www.druglibrary.org/prohibitionresults1.htm
So more prohibitions don't work. Especially on Freedom Loving Americans.
Safer cars and self driving cars will prevent some of those alcohol deaths.
Why would a gun prohibition work any better than on booze?
I saw this one guy who gave up h is AR-15, he said they aren't made for hunting, merely for killing.
I don't get it. Without AR-15's do they just like kneecap a deer and let it live to see another day? I thought hunting is about killing.
This is not a pro AR-15 argument. It is a "say some shit that makes sense" argument.

Fabricating technology gets cheaper and more accessible with each year. If evolution wasn't having artificial selection for stupid people, people would be making AR 15's and much more in their basement like Tony Stark building his suit.
You know in Florida it is easier to buy a nuclear bomb than it is some aspirin?
This fact is brought to you by CBS.

You dont use a machine gun to hunt.

I would be okay with banning guns only if we banned alcohol as well. 88,000 people die from alcohol related deaths each year in the US. https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/overview-alcohol-consumption/alcohol-facts-and-statistics
Also 2.5 million years of potential life lost each year due to alcohol.
https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/alcohol-use.htmThat pales in comparison to the 13,000 gun homicides per year.

The only way to stop death is to ban death.
