I agree with the premise but guns and drugs intended uses are deleterious. Human beings are all born good, IMO

There is no difference.

Both are effective only because of the people who misuse them.

Because a person addicted to drugs is 100x's more likely to abuse a gun and use it for the wrong reasons than a sober person who uses it for protection, hunting, etc.

No worries, here's an article I came across recently on some changing attitudes around addiction-- that's where I first heard about the Portuguese policy reform.

Drugs being used destroys a community.

Guns being used also destroys a community.

Here is the difference, law abiding people can buy guns and not use them so just owning a gun for protection does no harm.

However prople that buy drugs aren't law abiding citizens; furthermore, who buys drugs and doesn't use them? Sellers? Who else?

That's the difference.

i think that article supports my point. people in shitty situations turn to drugs and drugs rarely take people who live a good, happy life and turn them into addicts.

it's the people, not the object.

If you really think that, you're either sixteen years old or an idiot.
