But….. drugs are illegal, and very easy to come by, even if you aren’t a “professional junkieâ€. We have even had a “war†on drugs since Regan and they are still so easy to acquire that middle schoolers are doing them. But hey, guns would be much harder to get into this country than drugs right? No way they could get them across the boarder. Yeah let’s make them hard to get legally and the problem will just go away.
I don't understand. You want to legalize drugs? Maybe you are right, that would make things better...
If you read the entire thread you will see that other people already tore up my "proposal" and they did a better job at it then you did. Forget about it.
I don't know what the solution is. But generic whining - there is nothing at all that can be done to improve the situation - is not something that I will endorse. I haven't heard anyone suggest anything about how to improve the situation. All I hear is how things cannot get better, only worse. The only exception is the enforcing of laws that already exist. Well, I'm all for it... but why didn't that work already?
Maybe you like the way things are now. I don't. I'm a woman, I don't want to have to carry a gun when I leave the house. There are children, elderly people and all the "weak" who rely on a minimum of safety and protection. If that's not part of America any longer then I don't know what to say...
I live on the westside of LA, where the average response time of a police patrol is 7 minutes. I feel safe enough. I don't trust the government with much, but I trust your vision of an armed militia even less, since this militia is doing nothing to improve anything, and it certainly is not improving my safety.
Stop criticizing my post, say something constructive. Where are the solutions?
