Not even remotely the same thing. People are addicted to drugs & alcohol and will go to any length to get them. Last time I checked, you can't get addicted to guns...
For starters, you can get addicted to most anything, and are you fucking serious, a large percentage of America is completely addicted to Guns. To test if somebody is addicted to anything, see what happens when you take away the source of their addiction, the bigger the meltdown, the greater the addiction. Also, addiction could be defined as the state of being enslaved, American Culture is most definitely been enslaved by the GUN, and the most overt sign of addiction is the continued use of something even though it becomes increasingly detrimental. Score another winner there. I have actually dealt with many addicts in my younger life, and I can personally say, the biggest addicts I have ever met are those addicted to Guns, from their denial about their addiction, their obsession with talking about their drug of choice (Guns), their fear of losing their drug of choice, to always looking for a greater high from their drug of choice (more and bigger guns), the list of addict behaviours is endless. And like most drug addicts, the Gun Nuts are sadly just as pathetic.
