[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3232398, member: 43724"] By that reasoning you're ok with gun control laws because of a few who used them to commit murders, correct? Here is my problem with many of the arguments expressed here: You are ok with drug laws because it falls in line with your own moral laws. You don't do drugs, so it doesn't bother you that they are illegal. That right there is why we have such a hard fight with firearm laws. And before you go there, yes I know firearm ownership is a right while drug use is not, but the fact that you are using the same mentality as the anti-gunners is what bothers me. I don't use any illicit or licit drugs simply for the fact that I have an addictive personality (also why I don't drink that much). However, as long as one's use does not affect others, it should not criminalize the person for partaking in any drug. The government should not be able to dictate what we can and cannot put into our own bodies! If they have that power then they can come around and tell us "Hey, no more meat for anyone!" or "Chocolate is bad for you, so we are going to make it illegal!". [/QUOTE]
