Regarding #2 through #7: they are all true and important. I'm aware of different efforts over the years to address some of them, but they are all definitely active problems.

Regarding #1-- is it possible you have a drinking problem?

It’s possible I’m an alcoholic but equally possible I’m so used to puritanical rules that I assume one is an alcoholic because they wish to imbibe in a park on a nice day.

You don't have to be an alcoholic (I don't even drink) to agree that with OP that #1 is an arbitrary reduction of freedom. Especially when walking around with a gun is totally fine. Which one has a larger potential of killing somebody?

(And before you make some other ridiculous insinuation, we're talking here about walking, not driving.)

Walking around with a gun while being 'under the influence' is bad!1!!

you buy a coca cola and walk 50 feet from one venue to the next and nobody bats an eye, but you do that with a twisted tea and suddenly people are asking you if you suffer from alcoholism

Or cigarettes/weed, for instance.
