This guy is an textbook example of a dumb strawman, especially the gun trotting yankistani dumbass kind.

It's not, you type don't care about people dying, you just don't like it when guns are used.

Alcohol doesn't kill someone else out of nowhere. Long term alcoholism or drunk driving does, for which you have to be on the road or nearby it, which everyone and their grandmother already know are inherently dangerous are people inherently become alert and cautious around roads.

It...kinda does. Did...did you not read my comment that 12-13k people a year are killed by drunk drivers? Shit that's even more random than gun violence? Alcohol has 0 net uses in society....so why aren't you mouthy about alcohol? Is it because you don't give a shit about deaths just how they die? Gonna answer for you and say yep.

Can you fucking take out alcohol in a busy mall, spray everyone, and kill them?

Random Mass shootings equate to less than 200 people a year death wise on average. Most mass shootings are targeted and not random. In which alcohol is still king of killing people at random on the road.

Holy fucking shit, are you even aware of the mental gymnastic it takes to equate guns to alcohol?

Considering how far you had to jump around not to get the references... I understand the topic pretty damn well. You on the other hand are another "guns scare me, please ban them all, and I'll magically feel safe"

Why not say let's ban water because everyone who drinks it dies?

Yes because I forgot how everyone needs alcohol to survive. Gotta get my 8 shots a day to feel healthy.
