And the libertarians who endlessly wail that guns can be outlawed unless we legalize illicit drugs have been proved wrong. Again.

More misdirection. The issue here is what constitutes commerce, not that guns = drugs. And I'm not a Libertarian, thanks.

Billions of dollars worth of drug contraband flow across our state and national borders.

Drawing a false equivalence between illicit drugs and the right to keep and bear arms is one of the most hoary cliches of libertarianism and its fellow travelers.
