Here's what I said- "Similarly, can a gun influence a person’s thought process in such a way that a crime is committed as a result of that thought process? Yes. Certainly, if a person is angry enough at another person, and then think hey, I’ve got a gun, why don’t I just go over there and shoot that person? Bang, dead. Has happened before, will happen again."

Here's what you said- "The argument you are making is that guns can “cause” certain people to commit crime just because they have access?

You even quoted the word "cause", which I never used. You used it, then you ascribed it to me by quoting it as if I used it. Nor did I say "certain people". I do believe that I simply said "person".

And then you said- "I don't even want to argue that stupid point."

So you don't want to argue your own stupid point? Fine let's not, because it certainly is stupid.

I said that meth can influence a person's thought process in such a way that a crime is committed as result of that thought process, and I said that a gun can influence a person's thought process in such a way that a crime is committed as result of that thought process, both of which are true statements.

Now, if you want to argue either of those correct and true points that I made, instead of the stupid point that you made and then quoted and ascribed to me, be my guest.

"I'm against drugs because of the little kids who will be influenced by drug addled adults and then turn into those same drug addicted, mentally addled adults themselves. Less drugs, less crazies. I've seen it up close, you haven't. Take my word."

I am a former drug addict. I've used marijuana, LSD, mushrooms, cocaine, alcohol, opiates, muscle relaxers, valium and xanax. I was physically addicted to Xanax, until I quit. I have not used drugs for 9 years. Nothing except a single patron margarita on my birthday each year.

I've seen it up close. From the ages of 16-36. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

"Drug abuse by adults leads to all kinds of very bad circumstances for children. I don't get why libertarians always want to argue that drugs aren't that harmful."

I never argued that drugs aren't harmful. In fact, I argued that "Meth use can cause hallucinations, paranoia and psychosis. It is obviously a very dangerous drug." It's right there in my post, which I can only assume, at this point, that you didn't read.

"Because they are to kids. they are very harmful to kids and another joins the addict list every single day.

And that, very sadly, is going to continue to happen regardless of what the law is or is not.

"And I don't even want to hear the stupid argument always trotted out " But alcohol" is just as blah blah blah. It's not nearly as descructive as quickly as drugs"

Oh yes, it most certainly is, and you may be shocked to learn that alcohol, like other drugs, is also a drug.

I would like to know what you think of this young man's story in this video. Please let me know what you think.

Wow, idiotic. Been here and argued this stupid shit before with people like you making these exact same stupid arguments. Quite a few times here, in fact. Always the same broken record, in fact, I already predicted what your dumb ass argument would be. Not interested at all in your video either, sorry.

This time I’m just going to have a laugh at your expense and let this go. Waste of time to try and impart experience on to those that have little and think they already know it all.
