People have done some strange things under the influence and those products are specifically designed to alter and cloud the mind.

How many people have done stupid things with guns while under the influence? Was it the gun or the altered mind?

How many people have been killed by drivers while impaired?

Do illegal drug dealers carry liability insurance? How many walking dead has that industry produced? How much tax has been collected on that industry?

Of the 30,000 Americans annually killed by guns, an analysis needs to be done to look at secondary factors like criminal activity, mental health, impaired judgement, age and opportunity to be killed by alternate means that would not change the statistics.
