Reply #25: Tired tired cliches.... [View All]

"Outlaw them and only the outlaws will have them. You surely realize that's true with drugs, don't you?" -

That IS idiotic and a worn out cliche and you know it so stop already....


If that's correct then why not legalize crack?

Answer: If we legalize crack cocaine then everyone will be doing it...

The simple fact that illegal drugs are..well..illegal keeps a lot of people from doing them.

Prior to their being outlawed cocaine and morphine were sold over the counter like aspirin and there was a substantial population of addicts and serious negative consequences.

And yes we actually CAN round up all the guns and make it very hard to get bullets as well whether you think so or not - but I'm recommending that.

A computerized background check tells you practically nothing about someone's fitness to be trusted with a loaded gun - I think you know that too. It's a start but hardly "comprehensive".

I'm just saying that you should have to have friends who will vouch for you in person before the gun dealer so that he can make a reasonable decision about just how crazy you are or are not before he sells you a gun.
