So, also legalize every type of weapon too? Thats not making sense.

Still no one has ever given an answer to fixing the gun issue in America. There is no solution, so arm yourselves.

Generally speaking, drugs are used by the purchaser on themselves. Outside of suicidal tendencies (which you've already addressed with mental health reform that I agree with - something that will naturally address both the drug abuse and gun violence problems to great extent), most weapons are typically used against others. They are NOT equivalent.

I agree

I don't know why you should legalize that? What's even your point?

I get what you're saying, but you're comparing apples and oranges

Probably a bad comparison
