Federal prosecutors sought a 15-year prison sentence for the woman who provided the drugs that killed Matthew Perry. She appeared before a judge Wednesday to learn her fate.
Pointing out that legally, guns are OK doesn’t contradict my point, it furthers it.
Does it? I’m not sure I’m following what your point is.
our society treats the things very differently for arbitrary cultural bullshit.
Well, yeah. That’s just how different groups of humans consider things that can be dangerous. You can go to any hardware store and by arsenic as rat poison. You can go to any drug store and buy eye drops. Both are lethal to humans when ingested yet both are easily accessible without any licensing or age restrictions.
Most countries also consider alcohol (ethyl alcohol) legal to purchase by adults (but definition of adult varies depending on the group of humans). Many would rightfully argue alcohol is more dangerous than some illegal narcotics.
If you’re looking for consistency in human behavior across society I’m not sure you’d going to find it very often.
My analogy is apt because both guns and drugs are dangerous and our society treats the things very differently for arbitrary cultural bullshit.
