Yeah, guns are important. As long as the cat is out of the bag, you know. If everyone would put down all the guns at once, I would be on board. Until that day I get one if everyone else gets one. Guns are not dangerous, the willpower to kill another or the level of stupidity required to accidentally shoot someone is dangerous.

I agree, except for one slight little point. The illegality dosn't give you emphysema. The physical detriment from drug abuse is not part of it's illegality. But I agree with the principle that by far the worst thing is the legislation. They own both sides of the drug game. It is pretty clear nowadays what America was doing in Chile, Panama, and Columbia. What they are actively doing in Afghanistan. They sell you the drugs (and guns) and then put you in a private jail and make money after charging you for buying the drugs from them. That is worse than a monopoly.
