I think you'll find if you take the people who want to ban guns ... and the people who want to continue or expand the drug war that there will be quite the overlap between these two groups.

Am I in that overlap??

That should be easy enough to answer.

It should be easy enough to tell us who is, actually. Why don't you do it? You must have SOME reason for saying what you have said and I can't for the life of me imagine why you wouldn't share it.


I of course, would like to see the war on drugs ended, completely.

And that, of course, is of the most supreme irrelevance to the fact that the US *does* attempt to force other nations to do what it wants in its stated interest, of stopping the illegal trafficking of drugs over its borders -- while neither Pert_UK nor Spentastic nor I nor anyone else I know of advocates that any such thing be done in the interests of countries into which firearms are illegally trafficked from the US.


When you have a bunch of authoritarians who want to ban something, there's a pretty good chance that they don't want to ban just that one thing.

Yeah, and when you have a bunch of faeries at the bottom of the garden, there's a pretty good chance there are some talking dogs there too.

Now ... if only I could produce some faeries ... and if only you could produce any authoritarians who want to ban something ...
