Data show what I said they show, a higher incidence of gunshot injuries in households that have guns. 

I wasn't condoning stoners any more than I was condoning people who shoot other people. But your outrage won't stop these things from happening, a lot. The fact remains that people have enjoyed various kinds of inebriation since the late stone age; so you can't really call everybody who indulges a "loser" because that would take in almost everybody. Trump doesn't indulge but probably should.

The thing that's missing from your reasoning is that firearms injuries and opioid overdoses, like car crashes, are now public health issues. One thing that distinguishes these "inanimate objects" is that there are giant, highly profitable industries that depend upon people buying them regardless of the fact that each constitutes, literally, a public health emergency. 

These industries also do a bang up job of manipulating individuals and legislatures to overlook the danger.
