Alcohol is responsible for far more death and violence than guns are, yet very few people are in favor of banning booze. Every argument I've heard for banning guns seems to apply even more so to alcohol, and there isn't a very clear distinction why one should be legal and the other illegal.

For example: Australia banned guns, and has less gun violence. Great! Saudi Arabia banned alcohol and has fewer alcohol deaths. Even during the US's experiment with prohibition, alcohol consumption dropped considerably. That's hardly an argument in favor of prohibition.
