David Byrne: Guns a ‘Public Health Hazard,’ Should Be Regulated Like Cigarettes And ‘Sugary Drinks’

Talking Heads frontman David Byrne weighed in on America’s gun control debate in an essay posted to his website Wednesday, suggesting that guns should be reframed as a “public health hazard” and, as such, regulated like cigarettes and “sugary drinks.”

In the essay, Byrne suggests “we willingly give up our rights in many areas” in exchange for “a safer healthier life for all,” and believes gun rights are one of the things that need to be given over to regulation in exchange for that “healthier life.”

Many liberals believe in the freedom of sugary drinks and pies. Ref: Michael Moore.

That would be fine with me. No more 4473 forms.

I will NEVER willingly give up my rights in any areas!

Ok, sure.

Sugary drinks-- legal to purchase and possess by everyone, including children and felons. No background check, no ID checked, no forms to fill out, no permit needed to own or carry anywhere in the country, including into government buildings, and no restrictions on methods of storage. No registration of any kind, nor are any records kept of the purchase. No limits on number purchased per unit of time.

Cigarettes-- all of the same except that they are not legal for children, and ID will sometimes be required to substantiate that.

So yeah, if the left wants to restrict it so that McDonald's can only lawfully sell certain sizes of guns with no ID or paperwork out of the drive-thru window in New York City, that would be fine.
