@Dog I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking… Are you saying that cigarettes kill people, so they should be banned? Cigarettes contain lots of nasty stuff that leads to a person’s death when smoked over time. Over the last eight years, my father has had 25% of his lung tissue removed due to cancer, an aortic aneurysm, and most recently, a quad bypass. All of these issues can be attributed to his smoking cigarettes for 60 years. Does he, or do I, or does anybody else in my family blame the cigarettes for his health issues? No. We all blame him. He chose to smoke, and he knew the risks. He will likely die in the next ten years, and it will be his fault.
Like cigarettes, a firearm is simply an object. Both are manmade; both are inanimate. In order for harm to come to somebody, somebody must intentionally use the object to cause harm. With cigarettes, the choice is the victim’s, and with guns, the choice is the killer’s.
The left is also trying to ban cigarettes because they don’t understand cause/effect and personal responsibility.
