Guns are a tool.

Drugs are not a tool?

They don't make people kill or hurt others.

Neither do drugs.

Crystal Meth obviously does.

If you can demonstrate evidence to me, of Crystal Meth jumping out of a baggie, and committing a murder, I'll buy your argument.... otherwise, I'll afford it as much credence as I afford the arguments of anti-gun activists who insist that guns commit murders... (which is to say none)

Drunk driving is illegal.

But alcohol is not.... see the distinction?

The fact that the drug altered his mind to the point where he could not control himself from attacking a child is far more pertinent than a person deciding to pick up a gun and shoot someone.
