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

A problem perpetuated by the feds themselves, but arguably a problem the feds are authorized to deal with.

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.

Attempting to fight a battle not raised in the first place is a hoary tactic of a Drug Warrior growing tired of thinking rationally in real time. Again, I am not a Libertarian or one of its "fellow travelers."

I disagree.
