If it was about saving lives

Why isn't there a push to ban alcohol? Since death contributed to alcohol deaths surpass gun death by a large number.

As we well know, The Democrats don't give a flat rat's ass about the lives of American people. They do however like to stand on their bodies to push their agendas.

They tried.

Prohibition: Years, Amendment and Definition ‑ HISTORY

The Prohibition Era began in 1920 when the 18th Amendment outlawed liquor sales per the Volstead Act, but in 1932 the 21st Amendment ended Prohibition.

Major failure.

What you do with alcohol you do to you.
Inflicting that damage on others is a crime. DUI, etc.
What you do with a firearm you do to others.

So why is suicide with a gun always added in with all gun deaths? FYI murder is already a crime.

Have you ever seen me post that?

For one, making alcohol illegal would kill governments from federal to local as there is a long list of taxation on several levels that go along with alcohol consumption. Two is the DUI problems can be brought under control. Like most people here, I know folks that got busted for DUI. They were all coming home from some place. Not many if anybody gets drunk at home and decides to go out for a drive.

So one solution to reduce DUIs is to mark licenses. If you get busted driving while drunk your license is marked for six months. Nobody would be allowed to serve you alcohol with a marked license. Second DUI is a year with a marked license. Third DUI is a 5 year marked license and so on.

Almost all the people I know that got a DUI were coming home from a bar. These people are more addicted to the bar environment than they are the alcohol itself. If you have a marked license, you're not even allowed in the place so nobody else can buy you a drink.

Pretty simple, eh? So why don't they do it? Tax money.

Pot affects driving and causes psychosis. Psychosis leads to violence. Pot causes depression and anxiety disorders.
Pot smoke causes lung disease.
Nothing bad justifies another bad thing.

Have you seen the amount of taxes spent in the firearms industry? From the firearm sells to ammo?

Alcohol's primary purpose isn't killing something.
Anyone who needs an AK or AK military knock-off rifle, for "self defense", more than a 10 round magazine or 2000 rounds of ammo, shouldn't be around anything that might cause harm to ANYTHING.
They have serious mental paranoia issues.

That's why there are laws.
If a bartender or waitress over serves a customer, they can be sued or incarcerated also.

But it does kill more than guns do. It's about saving lives isn't that the motto of you anti gunners?
There are laws against murder.
