But all drug laws and Prohibition and motorcycle helmet laws and gun laws and lots of others like mask mandates always, always SAY they are laws to protect OTHER PEOPLE.
And there is something to that sometimes. Take alcohol: drunk men constantly beat up women and children and drive drunk and kill people. Everyone knows that. Prohibition was because of that. And to stop the Europe-like explosion of saloons on EVERY block in EVERY city because of the big influx of European immigrants at that time.
It's a puzzlement.
That is about the best argument I have ever read.
However, I still disagree, because I think drunks are not inherently abusive, but just more immediate.
And that the causes of anger and violence come from the economic stresses of society.
I think DUI deaths come from the utter lack of mass transit and local saloons.
If there were saloons on every block, as there likely should be, then no one would DUI.
