I just thought putting people down who use alcohol was a bit rich coming from someone who used to use class A's, stop calling the kettle black and all that!
Arguing to ban guns or alcohol from decent law abiding people is ridiculous, not doable and insulting.
I was hoping that by using alcohol as the protagonist you’d see the absurdity, but perhaps it was too abstract.
This makes interesting reading into Americans views on guns, some polls going back as far as 1990.

The trend is that people do want stricter gun laws, with universal background checks getting overwhelming support, as well as all gun purchase being registered with the police. Things get a bit muddier when it comes to bans though, especially handguns.
