Indeed.  Each death diminishes us. 

And I am not an advocate for guns or opiates.  But crime is not going to stop until criminals stop committing them. There was a store robbed in my neighborhood recently by knifepoint...not by gun.
Suicides will continue by od, hanging, knife.  Drug abuse will continue as long as there are drugs...including what flows over our borders, apparently so easily.

To blame "profit and corporations" is a real stretch that I want clarification of.
