88,000 people die in alcohol related matters each year in America.
If the government is really serious about “protecting” everyone, they should start by banning or more seriously regulating alcohol.

100K plus dead from drugs last year. In cali——shoot houses and free clean needles(likely other locales as well). If they were passing out firearms then they could talk. Otherwise, STFU! With an estimated 500 million firearms in private hands in the USA, if there were actually a problem, we’d know about it.
