Libertarians/liberals/libertines draw no distinctions between the right to keep and bear arms and drug use. "Guns equal drugs" is one of Libertarianism's most absurd equations.

Not at all. They are both forms of 'property', which cannot be taken without due process. [14th] -- Our present unconstitutonal war on guns & drugs is doing exactly that.

There is no right to manufacture, transport, sell, possess or use illicit drugs in the Constitution, notwithstanding Libertarianism's "Roe v Wade" mentality about Constitutional rights.

Nor is there a power given to government to prohibit drugs or guns. -- In fact, the 14th amendment specifically mentions our rights to life, liberty, and property, without un-due process, IE -- government interference.

What is amazing here roscoe, is your advocacy of prohibitive type law. This is NOT a 'conservative' stance.
You promote a socialist agenda on a site dedicated to a free republic.
