Well, why does anyone need alcohol? At least guns can protect my family. What does alcohol do? It costs society more money than it generates. Of course, we know from experience that banning alcohol won't stop people from drinking...and so it is with guns, magazines, and the like.
Did you know that 75,000 people die from alcohol in the US per year!
I mean, can't you get drunk on Light Beer? Why do you need whiskey? If guns are safer with 10 round mags, then alcohol would be safer if we just banned everything, but beer.
All sarcasm aside, listen to a Piers Morgan rant on guns and replace "11,000 gun deaths" with "75,000 alcohol related deaths", replace "gun" with "alcohol", and "assault rifle" with "whiskey". It sounds like a tired speech from the prohibition era. (Of course, it's a lot more fun to drink every time Piers defies logic or talks over his guest.)
