Why would bootlegging be immoral???

IIRC, Prohibition created a blackmarket and the distribution of said items, and the fact that it was repealed proved that you cannot effectively regulate or control social behavior...

Not that I condone illegal acts...But think about it...Something that is legal one day, and made illegal the next, just because...Doesn’t compute with some people...Think about those firearms you own??? Right???

Imagine the bootlegging (blackmarketing) that is going to be created if they make posessing those things illegal???

But somehow the government has not learned the lesson completely enough to keep them off our backs...Or maybe they know, but still like to “control” things...

Just yanking your chain Marine...;-)

Knowing how to distill liquor and brew beer might be good skills to have WTSHTF.
