Families of fentanyl overdose victims would disagree. Moreover it's not hard to find examples of "legal if the government authorizes it" for killings. Cops and soldiers, for instance.


It takes quite a leap of logic to blame someone ingesting a toxic quantity of a substance on the person who manufactured the substance. When someone drinks bleach do we blame the company that makes the bleach?


It is a bad comparison because substance vendor doesn't kill anyone just as a gun store doesn't. Soldiers are better analogy though.
