re: #491 Dark_Falcon

Tobacco ≠ Firearms, since firearms can be safely used, while tobacco always hurts the user and others.

Moreover, while the NRA has been making its arguments for decades, the poll shows that the big shift began in the early ‘aughts’ and picked up steam after 2004. In 10 years, the number of people who said a gun in the home makes the home more dangerous dropped by 1/3rd.

Tobacco may not equal firearms but the belief that firearms keep us safe is the same as believing that tobacco was good for you.
