The 2.2 million people behind bars, mainly for something drug related, disagree with you.

That has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the illegality reduces the number. I also think that having 2.2 million people behind bars for drug related crimes is asinine.

 

[luthervol]

As a former bar tender and alcoholic I’d say it doesn’t

Edit: it only adds punishment to those who get caught

Again, that's crazy. I know that just within my circle of friends and family it has an impact.

 

[orangeluvr]

How do you feel about ripping up the Constitution?

You could ask burger king the same question.

Which is interesting. Do you think it should be more?

 

[luthervol]

Which is interesting considering you can crash inebriated and die (We 've all heard the stats since high school) but millions choose to do so in spite of the law and it's repercussions.

It's almost like people that want to kill people are not worried about the legality of it.

There are millions that avoid it, or at least do it a lot less because of the illegality.

Ok, Luther. Answer these questions, every one of the mass shooting killers knew murder was illegal before killing innocent people. Did the laws against murder stop them?

Further, the maniac that ran over 80+ people in Nice France knew murder was illegal before killing those people, did it stop him?

The bomber in Texas knew murder was illegal before shipping those packages, did the law stop him?

People don't kill people.
Guns, cars, bombs, planes, knives, alcohol, drugs....do.

How much does the bumper sticker cost that shows you're an idiot?

Why is he an idiot? Because he doesn't like it when someone massacres a bunch of kids with an assault rifle? Guess you're for that kind of stuff?

Did you see the face of the kids, the dude, say that having to have a clear backpack violated his rights?

Did you see the face of the kids, the dude, say that having to have a clear backpack violated his rights?

Yeah, they wondered why they had to be punished for the actions of someone else. Ironic, huh?

Luther would be pissed over the lack of compromise considering this is about kids that don't feel safe in school.

No
No
No
And your point? Let me guess. The fact that the act was illegal did not stop the criminal from committing the act.

But here's my question for you. Did the fact that murder was illegal stop Les Williams from shooting up the IHOP in Little Rock?

That was Hogg. Same kid who said that he learned about politics from watching House of Cards. He wasn’t being facetious.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

It’s really f’ed up how the media is trying to compare this to the civil rights movement. One was fighting for rights, one is fighting to take them away from others. I don’t understand adults “listening” to kids who have at best a very rudimentary understanding of the constitution, at worst they don’t understand one bit of it. They just have feels and we should act on that.

Is he related to our Hog?

They are 17 year old kids. In democrat world, they are the smartest people in the room.

So we agree legalizing heroin would not change the rate of use? In that case, I can’t see a reason to keep it illegal.

Beyond “I like wasting tax money”

We do not agree. Legalizing would increase the rate of usage. Many of the newly addicted would resort to crime to pay for their legal drug.

If this is what you’re talking about, once again, your facts are ****ty.

That sounds good but you have no way to back that up.

Of course I don't. The number is unknowable. I only know how it effects me, my family, and friends. The rest is just an extrapolation.

Do you know anyone in law enforcement?

How does that work?

NRA picked up hundreds of thousands of new members.

Delta lost a huge fuel tax credit.

Cops got a crap ton of overtime "protecting" marchers.

All this thanks to useful idiots who were embraced, encouraged, funded, furnished with signs and media access, and transported by the liberals.

They spent a ton of money to pay for this, and got new NRA members and Delta's fuel. Oh...and overtime for cops they secretly hate.

And accomplished nothing. Go figure.
