Some people realize it is preposterous to 'blame the gun' for the actions of the user, but ironically, will be quick to 'blame the weed' for the actions of the user.
Yep. It's pretty simple, really. Alcohol users and their intoxicant of choice is OK...but marijuana users and their intoxicant of choice is not OK. Hypocritical to the Nth degree.
The exact percentage (proof) of alcohol in the various kinds of legal commercially brewed/distilled/fermented beverages is a knowable, consistent, and reliable figure. A person can know how much alcohol they are consuming which allows them the option to control the amount they ingest over a given period of time.
I don't know how factual it is but from what I've read, heard and been told by some users, the amount of intoxicant in marijuana can vary considerably, therefore no way to know before consuming how much could be too much.
Some people take their first drink and it sends them down a road from which they never recover.
Some begin to gamble and in some cases - same outcome.
You want to use my quote then let's use it.
It's impossible to know the exact number of bullets that an irresponsible user can fire into himself or his victim and know the exact outcome.
You are either going to have a society of personal responsibility or not.
The gun is not to blame, the weed is not to blame, neither are the deck of cards, or dice, or alcoholic drink, number of blows to the head, meth, oxy, etc.
You can't cherry pick which ones are the user's responsibility and in other cases blame the item or substance itself.
