The old all inanimate objects are created equal crap again.

The old "Blame the objects, because we don't want to blame the users" socialist crap again.

Firearms help protect innocent life and property

Yes, and firearms also kill more people per year than pot ever has. They are also used by drug dealers to protect their turf, and commit rape and murder. These are the reasons why leftists try to ban them.

how many lives have a joint, crack pipe, or used heroin needle saved?

1. Medical marijuana. Try looking a terminal cancer patient in the face when marijuana is the only thing keeping the pain and nausea of chemo away. Try telling them they are an "evil druggie" Look them right in the eye when you sneer at them.

2. Cocaine still makes a wonderful topical anesthetic for certain surgeries where swelling of the tissue MUST be prevented (some eye surgeries, for instance.)

3. Pray you never need morphine.

Again, why do you blame OBJECTS, and not the PEOPLE USING THE OBJECTS? What is it you have against personal responsibility?

3. Pray you never need morphine.

You got that right. Had it once while 4 burly orderlies wrestled my dislocated right elbow back into place (after a soccer injury). I didn't "feel" a thing, but nevertheless my body reacted as though my arm was being torn off. Jimminy Christmas that is some strong stuff.

They aren't, but there are other pain killers to get through chemo, not just wonderweed.

Again a medical issue.

3. Pray you never need morphine.

Another medical issue.

Since you are acting like Clinton and parsing every word, I will rephrase the question.

Firearms help protect innocent life and property, how many lives has the "recreational" use of a joint, crack pipe, orused heroin needle saved?

Has a joint ever prevented a robbery? Yeah I can just see it.

"Dude put down the gun and have a doob with me."

The pothead will probably be shot and his stash taken.
