Lawdog makes some excellent points, and true they all are. dal & Keith, I agree mostly with the drug / gun argument, although I still am anti drug /pro gun. The argument works with the drugs such as heroin, weed, they're in the same "danger" class as booze, should they be legalized. None of these drugs CAUSE violent behavior by themselves.And WHO CARES if somebody OD's or kills themselves with it.
Yet, there are 2 drugs that CAUSE EXTREME VIOLENCE, to the extent that mothers kill their babies, overriding thousands of years of evolution.Meth & PCP.
Think about it...have you ever heard of heroin, booze, marijuana causing a father or mother to burn, stab, or bite their baby to death? Me neither, and although it can cause neglect, violence comes from its procurement.
Meth and PCP, on the other hand, actually CAUSE psychotic behavior. If drugs are decriminalized or legalized, ALL of them will be, and then, for sure we will all NEED our firearms...
Well, enough of this serious stuff. I think I'll go grab a Coors and get my gear ready to go shoot tommorrow.
