Gun-owning Vegas real estate mogul to Trump: 'Enough is enough'
------------------
Good to see Cloobeck telling it like it is, and especially him calling out our worthless attorney general who killed a law Nevada had passed for greater gun control, and for him speaking up about Trump needing to talk about greater gun control NOW. Enough is enough.
Don't we have laws against possession of illegal drugs???? How is that working out?
It's a serious problem and one which we can blame on fiscal conservatism and demagoguery.
Consider the cost to arrest, try and incarcerate addicts. One side of the aisle wants to punish them, and the other side wants to rehab them.
The former side uses fear and a self righteous moral judgment, the latter side sees addiction as an illness in need of treatment.
Compare the cost to trials or diversion, and placing an addict in rehab or in prison, think about the lose of the number of probation and social workers to work with these addicts - jobs which have been lost to fiscal conservatism and the other side of the aisle to create private prisons.
