Excessive alcohol use kills more people annually than automobiles and guns combined. Obesity kills more Americans than all three (alcohol, automobiles and guns) together and trails tobacco use only slightly as the second leading preventable killer.
I stand corrected on the alcohol however, I apparently had outdated or errant information, but that has a regulatory history of it's own. Prohibition was a complete failure. I would expect a similar response with guns.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
