How many people in here drink beer? Drunk Driving fatalities were something like 120,000 deaths in the last 10 years in the US. This is more than the aforementioned gun death quote in the last decade ( 100,000 people in the last decade). I don't hear a ton of people saying there needs to be tighter alcohol laws?
So on that note AFC what benefit does alcohol have that makes 10,000 plus deaths a year seem like a reasonable cost?

None, but the only country that ever tried to ban it found that had more negatives in the end and gave up, what we do with alcohol though is
massively regulate it to minimise the negatives.
Unlike alcohol, when countries get rid of guns (the UK Australia Canada to a lesser degree) the bans are very effective, there being no way to 'home brew' guns
