Deep Dive: Alcohol Kills 4-10x More People Than Guns Each Year, So Why Don’t Democrats Want to Ban It?

For Democrats who are always keen to curtail or ban the Second Amendment right to bear arms altogether, a logical question that follows is whether they will also call for the banning of alcohol.

The obvious answer is no, but following their logic, alcohol should be banned. No reasonable person since the days of Prohibition wants to ban alcohol, but like guns, the damage is done not by the object itself, but by the abuse of it.

For example, earlier this month, a 55-year-old Louisiana grandmother got behind the wheel of her GMC Yukon and left for work, striking and killing her 5-year-old grandson, who was waiting for his school bus, the New York Post reported.
