So why don't we put them on guns?

We probably don't want to use the current leader in cause of death for kids as a template for good policy.

Not at all what I was suggesting. If warning labels save lives why are they not on guns?

My guess is gun advocates think its a restriction on the 2nd amendment?

Well as long as opinions matter more than data now. Might as well criminalize Tik Tok with one hand and give out free AR-15s to mentally ill 18 year olds with the other.
