And people don't kill people, guns kill people. Thus, we should ban all guns.

The old all inanimate objects are created equal crap again.

Firearms help protect innocent life and property, how many lives have a joint, crack pipe, or used heroin needle saved?

MINE. Quit posting this stupid rhetorical question if you don't want to deal with the answer you don't like.

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?

Cocaine is often used in rhinoplasty and other sinus surgeries. Morphine is a widely used anesthetic. Opium derrivatives in general have been used for centuries in surgical proceedures just as they continue to be used today.

Disruptor. You don't even try to make your arguments appear valid anymore do you?

We may never know how many lives were extended by the use of MJ,
many people have already testified that MJ helped extend the life's of many cancer patients.
Helped them handle the nausea. So thank you again, Legalize MJ now for all the sick people.

WyldKard: And people don't kill people, guns kill people. Thus, we should ban all guns.

What WyldKard and other dopers fail to realize is that guns do kill people, especially when they put the gun to their heads.
