While We're At It.....

...don't know, not really sure how I feel about criminalizing alcohol....there's definitely an argument to be made that it should be, or at least regulated seeing that alcohol is far more deadly than guns and drugs...alcohol related deaths kill more people in the U.S. than all the drugs and guns combined. I don't see the inconsistency here, (guns, alcohol and drugs make a deadly combination), but I do see an inconsistency with gun control advocates screaming about more regulation while completely ignoring the far more deadly alcohol related violence.

I totally agree with you that it's inconsistent on their part. I don't think people who uniformly take left-wing positions think about or even value consistency. It's a random potshot of things they think (or more likely someone has told them) will make society better.

I think the only consistent position in to have them all legal (or illegal). On the flip side of your argument, how can you be in favor of having guns being legal, and not marijuana which kills far less people than either alcohol and guns?
