Exactly. Now you get it.

Legalizing a drug will not make gang violence go away. Legalizing alcohol only moved the gangs into drugs.

Legalizing marijuana will not make the gang violence go away. They'll continue to deal hard drugs.

Legalize all recreational drugs and the gangs will deal prescription drugs, export drugs, and sell to minors. Violence remains.

No, you don't get it. The poster made the correct claim that with the end of alcohol prohibition the gangs related to the illegal production of, smuggling, and control of the distribution of illegal alcohol went away.

They did.

And is too dense to realize how his position violates our Constitutional principles.
