  1. If that was true, then why does basically all of Europe, where guns are illegal, have the lowest rates of gun violence in the world (especially Western Europe)?

  2. Wrong. At most, heroin is responsible for about 45,000 deaths each year. And almost every one of those is explained by adulterants, such as a fentanyl analogue, being present in the drug and making overdose much more likely. The other 25,000 or so are due to taking heroin in addition to other sedatives, like alcohol, leading to respiratory failure. If we legalized and regulated the substance, we could a) have strict controls on what is being sold, so people know exactly the right dose to take, b) have tests for "illicit" substances sold on the market so users can avoid taking heroin laced with adulterants, and c) implement a mass education campaign that encourages people to use opiods and other drugs responsibly and not to mix it with others at the same time. This would drastically cut down on the number of deaths, as we can see in places like Switzerland where this is already in effect.
