On top of that, I was also trying to illustrate (as Battuss seemed to be doing in his original post) that it's a person's misuse of an object that kills and not the object that's misused.
And yes, comparing guns, an object specifically designed to project a bullet, to cocaine, a processed powder made from a naturally growing plant, is a dumb comparison in regard to the objects being compared. But not in regard to what kills and what doesn't.
Forensically a bullet or cocaine overdose makes a body die. What killed the body (what was the essential cause behind the death) was the person shooting the gun or doing the overdose. That's all I'm trying to say.

Well, I wasn't referring to you specifically, more to the people who use assbackwards examples to try and illustrate a point, when really they know that they have no argument, so they try and pull some wacky example or comparison out of their ass to try and hide the fact that their argument is weak.
