It blows my mind that people who correctly identify the reasons the war on drugs is a failure seem to expect the same policies and logic to work on guns.
One of the best things the govt here in aus did in my lifetime, was tighten gun laws and buy back as many guns as they could. While we’re by no means free of gun violence and homicides, we very rarely have incidents like mass/school shootings.
Do you need target practice to shoot heroin? Do you seek self medication by going out and waving a gun around?
for some reason one seems much less threatening to the general populous than the other

Because gun laws have worked in other places. Canada, Australia, The UK, etc don’t have this problem.

Because guns are not the same as drugs. Hence the rules should be different.

We’re all here wondering if this is to convince yourself, or just bad sarcasm.
