This video argues that gun control advocates exhibit hypocrisy by focusing on inanimate objects (firearms) as the cause of violence, while ignoring the human element and the legal regulation of other dangerous activities. It uses a tragic drunk driving incident that resulted in child fatalities as a parallel, highlighting that laws target the impaired driver, not the automobile or alcohol itself. The speaker, William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, suggests this selective focus on firearms is a form of civilian disarmament.

This op-ed argues that current prohibitions on marijuana use by firearm owners are not constitutionally sound, particularly in light of the Supreme Court's Bruin v. New York decision. The author contends that historical gun laws, dating back to 1791, did not address substance use but rather focused on race and social control. The piece draws a parallel between the historical targeting of certain groups with gun control measures and the current prohibition on marijuana users, suggesting a lack of logical consistency when compared to the legal status and societal impact of alcohol.
