You can’t really kill someone else with casino chips, unless you tried really hard. Not everything is black and white, need to consider the context as well.

Yes, famously, gambling has caused zero suicides.
Suicide from gambling and homicide/suicide from gun use are not comparable.
Right, it’s not black and white.

You can cause harm to yourself and others with gambling as well as with guns.

Drawing the line at “you can’t directly kill people with casino chips” is reducing a complicated issue to a black and white stance
