But if it wasn't for guns, this shooting never would have happened.

Guns are a tool. They don't make people kill or hurt others. Crystal Meth obviously does.

But if it wasn't for alcohol, this drunk driving never would have happened.

Drunk driving is illegal.

But if it wasn't for cigarettes, this cancer never would have happened."

That is only hurting yourself. No legal concerns there.

Drugs are not a tool?

Neither do drugs.

Crystal Meth obviously does.

If you can demonstrate evidence to me, of Crystal Meth jumping out of a baggie, and committing a murder, I'll buy your argument.... otherwise, I'll afford it as much credence as I afford the arguments of anti-gun activists who insist that guns commit murders... (which is to say none)

Drunk driving is illegal.

But alcohol is not.... see the distinction?

Cigs are not just hurting the smoker. Tell that to the child that has to watch the parent die a slow painful death. Or to the taxpayer that has to fund medical expenses for a disease that was entirely avoidable.
