The original intent of salt is to add enjoyment to your meal. Used in the past for food preservation and also used for food preservation today. Yet Cuomo is outlawing salt because he believes some people are abusing it.

The original intent of Pepsi is for refreshment, a thirst quencher. Yet Cuomo is outlawing certain sizes of Pepsi because he believes some people are abusing it.

People dying from ill health effects due to Pepsi and salt isn't mass murder is it?

Cuomo is outlawing guns because he believes that is the best way to prevent a very small minority abusing guns.

In reviewing your debate that intended purpose is why alcohol should not be regulated as guns should be, it seems easy to conclude your argument cannot hold water in view of the points I presented above.

Reasoning 15000 people a year dying in alcohol related crashes is not mass murder seems an end that your whole justification argument is based upon. It may not be mass murder by definition, but I don't see how 323 school shooting deaths over the last 15 years outweighs 15000 a year killed by alcohol just in automobile crashes.
