Apples and Oranges. Drugs are illegal. Guns are not.

Sure they are. Carry one in NYC and see what happens.

"Drugs are illegal. Guns are not."

Tell that to residents of Washington, D.C., Chicago, and New Jersey - among other places.

Depends on who you are and where you live. Some guns are illegal for everyone, in some places. (States that don't allow Class III possession). All guns are illegal for some people to own everywhere (felons, handguns for people under 21). In some states and locals nearly all guns are illegal for anyone to own. (N.Y.C.) Actually it's a lot more like drugs than even I realized. With pot-heads having state-sponsored prescriptions in places like Cali and Oregon the supposedly "illegality" of drugs is a checkerboard as well.

The precident is there. The WOD is *ALWAYS* the battering ram used to destroy rights. The collateral damage is almost always much wider.

Are you sure. You're probably breaking one gun laws somewhere depending on your state.
