I didn't say they "just" need addiction treatment.
I did however mean that at the point they're using a gun either to support their addiction or while they're actively intoxicated, the one thing that very much won't dissuade them is the length of the sentence they're likely to face.
The thing that's still gone entirely undefended AFAICT is, how does the fact they were suffering an addiction at the time they bought it make the subsequent crime itself worse?
