It's not a straw man. Does banning marijuana "work"?
This attitude is just another sign of modern laziness. Got a problem, take a pill or pass a law, problem can now be ignored a bit longer.
Meanwhile real problems are neglected and become the type of big mess along the border that we can see has been caused by interfering by the state with the freedom of individuals to ingest certain substances.
The last thing we need is draconian laws concerning guns or anything else. It just makes things worse. And the state has no real authority to do so in the first place. This is a free country after all. It's time to remove the authoritarians from from power. They have done far too much damage to this nation already. I fear it is irreversible damage.
