People may not be saying it outright (because it's an impossible stance to defend), but they certainly have no qualms pointing suggestively at it before saying "That's not what I meant!" and trailing off with vague generalities like "some sort of regulation or process" or "effort made".
As for your MADD point, many of the "gun related deaths" listed previously include suicides. If suicide by alcohol doesn't count, you can't count suicides as gun violence, either. And they still don't come close to advocating for prohibition the way that anti-gun groups advocate a virtual lockdown of gun shops (and then pretend they don't).
The third post down was mine, I was pointing out the far left and far right arguments for dealing it are not the solutions. Not sure where you could draw that I was saying ban guns.
See post above on this.
The list does include suicide, so lets correct it and cut it in half (somewhat of an estimate). Does 150k not still matter? That seems like something we as a society should work to cut down.
