Please please PLEASE: this question is made from a place of pure curiosity, with no political biases intended. I'm asking because restrictions and prohibitions puts a pressure on the market since the demand never ceases, and someone interested in supply for that demand will do it for massive profits - no matter what. Wouldn't it be the case for any product, be it drugs, alcohol or guns?

Drugs are generally a thing that people use consensually on themselves, usually taking care as to any consequences.

Guns are something you typically use non-consensually on someone else, usually when the consequences be damned.

I'm personally against gun prohibition, but the logic differentiation between gun and drug legalization is pretty glaring.
