@lurker does making drugs illegal make people quit using drugs? If you make abortion illegal, will it stop people from having an abortion? How are the gun laws working in Chicago? 2 dozen shootings / weekend.

@Sir_Munchnuts drugs and abortion seem less complicated and capital intensive to create. Feels like an easier black market to sustain, but I hear your point. As for gun laws in Chicago.. not sure what the delta is before and after but I'll go check it out that might be interesting

@lurker also consider this: people use car bombs or drive into a crowded space and kill people all the time. You don’t see them coming for your car, do you? Full disclosure: I don’t own a gun, but I do own a car.

@Sir_Munchnuts eh, that feels different again. 'they' do control access to many things you need in order to build bombs like ammonia and etc at least to an extent. Also your car isn't like obviously going to be used to kill. Not saying a gun is either. I own guns and a car, but what I don't own is a backpack full of 60 magazines and 1600 rounds of .223 ammo like the uvalde killer had... Kinda hard for me personally to stomach that being just a-ok, with no questions asked.

@lurker sorta like ok with abortion in the first 3 months but not a full term abortion?
