The fact you mentioned gun ownership in the following paragraph doesn't detract from your charge that I can't separate things people can control from things they can't. People can control gun ownership, and they can control whether they use drugs - that alone refutes your charge, irrespective of what you then went on to say about your own debates with anti-gun people.
In any case, the parallels between your own position about drug users, KKK members about black people, and Brady campaign types about gun owners are truly striking, right down to the formative experience in your youth. Both remain excellent analogies to this dicussion with you, because really the central topic isn't guns, or drugs, or black people, it's how KKK members, Brady types, and you, would enact laws to control them.
You remain a one trick pony.
I don't agree with you that it is logical to separate drug possession from drug use from drug from all of the associated crime, when the correlation numbers are so high and there is no positive outcome to offset the harm. I've presented my argument and you've hid behind "bigot!". At this point its a bit pathetic. Don't you own a thesaurus?
If you have it in you, answer one single question. Should the possession of nerve gas or plutonium be illegal, as "possession" has never hurt anyone? What if just having the nerve gas gives the possessor pleasure? Do you think you can answer this directly? Well, neither did I, but at least I'm still being logical.
