Because a drug user is an armed-robber-in-waiting? Only using statistics, which is what is used to determine speed limits in relation to accidents. How this can be above anyone's comprehension is startling. Can you find the United States on a map of North America?

Back when I lived in Vienna VA we had two types of burglars, one type that would break into a vacant house, take valuables and leave. The other type would crawl through a window, bleed everywhere, mess up stuff, defecate on the rug and leave through the same window, often taking nothing. As the laws stood, the ones that came through the door would get a lot more prison time because of the amount of the theft.

Statistically, black people are more likely to be criminal offenders than others, and statistically, gun owners are more likely to be school shooters than non-gun-owners. Does that mean we should enact national Jim Crow laws, or ban firearms possession altogether, as the KKK or Brady Bunch, respectively, advocate? No. How this can be above anyone's comprehension is startling.
