Guns alter my mental state

When I need one and I’m heeled

I feel a LOT better mentally....altered

Let’s just cut to the chase.....the Drug Warriors on this forum want to take horrible crazed methhead atrocities that no one is defending to use as a tool to justify marijuana criminalization and minmans and LEO wandering powers and RICO conviction less confiscations etc that they applaud making us all safer from their statist perspective

No one here with half a brain would or should defend amphetamine abuse...and anyone who does should be challenged

But I guarantee I can find some horrible crime against a child perpetrated by drunks ....probably far more actually given I think it’s accurate to assume we have more drunks than “shadow people” in this country yet drug warriors never mention it

You may have a point. I don’t think I agree. I was stationed in the Netherlands and saw the damage caused by a tolerant society of drugs. Parks over run with drug user, bus station unsafe, having to walk my kids to the bus stop to make sure they avoided syringes. Now I live in WA. Another society that is tolerant of drugs, and I can tell you all is not roses.

So that is a discussion we can have. But my comment was about another poster saying guns and drugs are the same argument and they are not.

In the 1700s England had a major problem with ‘penny gin’. Brits could and did get drunk and stayed drunk for next to nothing, and it resulted in all of the social problems that go with widespread alcoholism. Their solution was the Gin Act, which required gin sellers to be licensed, and it made gin more expensive. It didn’t get rid of gin but gin consumption fell dramatically and so did the social problems that went with it. Meth has even less going for it than gin. It’s not a surprise to find crazy and violent behavior done by tweakers.
