creator of #fediblock :verified::makemeneko: (npub1u83…r2s5) The Omegle Man (npub1est…m7sn) Nova (npub1fev…w3la) Well, this is where we start talking about the details and nuance. When I say "a beer" I mean "a can or bottle of beer, which is designed to be drank."
The standard is this: "Should a reasonable person who is selling the good believe that the person will use the good to cause themselves or others undue harm?"
For a bottle or can of beer, the normal purchaser is highly likely to get themselves drunk off of it, which is undue harm.
For a gun, the normal purchaser is highly likely to use it in self defense (due harm to another) or for hunting (no harm to people).
I think that's a reasonable standard. It's not a categorical ban on any good, and addicts aren't the ones getting punished - people who prey on addicts are the ones who get punished.
