Just a reminder that Federal Law shields people who sell guns from liability over the just as inevitable consequences of that industry.
I don’t think it would shield an illegal gun seller if that gun was used by someone to kill someone else.
If Perry had been given a legal prescription and still died by abusing it, I don’t think Walgreens would be facing charges.
The distinction here isn’t “gun” vs “drug” it is “legal sale” vs “illegal sale”.
My analogy is apt because both guns and drugs are dangerous and our society treats the things very differently for arbitrary cultural bullshit.
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.

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.
consistancy in the law is a pretty basic thing to ask for, considering we are “all” meant to follow it.

You’re moving the goalposts a bit. The law is consistent in this example. One this is deemed illegal the other thing deemed is legal. I agree with you about why those laws are chosen to exist is certainly open to debate. Are you instead arguing the laws in your example are ambiguous?
- Do you think the woman who sold Perry the ketamine thought she was selling it legally?
- If you were to walk into a gun store, would you be concerned the store owner was breaking the law selling you a gun?
Guns are the only thing in the list designed specifically to kill other humans.
Why couldn’t it have been Musk? Doesn’t he do this drug?
Provided
Is kind of the key word here.
In don’t think op is talking about the prison part
That’s good but the Sacklers should probably go too then.
My brother died from a pill overdose and I told the cops who the person was that sold it to him. They didnt give a fuck because we’re poor and latino.

Ludicrous
