“My point is that there would be violence in these places whether or not explosive components are accessible.”
curiosity, so would you argue to make explosives more readily accessible?
“but there are no legitimate, productive uses for heroin and cocaine”
This is of course a dodge. Many drugs have quite legitimate uses. Narcotics are in fact vital to society. We of course keep it well regulated. Guns too, should be “well regulated” as the constitution calls for. The ease of buying a gun is absurd, and doubtlessly contributes to our high gun death rate.
