100,000 drug overdose deaths in one year but everyone wants to ban firearms that are responsible for a comparably small amount of deaths. Now, who would be pushing the use of fentanyl, well, that well-known City of New York telling you how to take an ultra-lethal drug safely. You can even feel empowered.Fentanyl is a synthesized opioid 50x stronger than heroin and 100x more potent than morphine. In 2020, fentanyl was listed as the leading cause of death among Americans between the ages of 18-45. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were roughly 107,600 drug overdose deaths in the US in 2021 – a 15% increase from the year previous. Of those deaths, roughly 66% involved fentanyl.
When the US government starts taking deadly illegal drugs seriously and keeping known killers off the streets I will start looking at their gun safety ideas, until then they are a joke.
