PART 1:
Problem:
Drugs are killing people.
Progressive solution:
Make all drugs LEGAL.
Legalization will take the drugs trade out of the hands of criminal gangs. Government regulated production and distribution of drugs will make them safer to consume.
PART 2:
Problem:
Guns are killing people.
Progressive solution:
Make all guns ILLEGAL.
Even though most killings are carried out using illegal guns, making the currently legal guns illegal will somehow prevent people from getting killed by guns that are currently illegal.
