When the FDA withdraw medications because of its adverse effect to a very small number of people/cases…American don’t go to congress and lobby to get back that medication for their rights to treat their justified indication. When the guns while serving the “liberty” purpose, the “self defense” purpose, the hobby and entertainment purpose, but also have the side effects of accidental deaths, mass massacre, murders by gun….nobody dares talking about a “recall” or a “withdrawal” like the FDA can…even when many more people died by gun in this country than all the side effects of medications could ever kill people.
There are differences between the two, yes. But the analogy shows how we look at and solve things differently independently of how many people die. Our cost/benefit analysis is out of whack.
