With due respect, I agree with most of what you have said in this thread. That should be evident in the number of likes I have made of your posts.
My "apples and oranges" assessment was based heavily on the difference between how the leftists view guns and drugs. They seem to want to:
- decriminalize all drug possession
- criminalize all gun possession (with exception of their own bodyguards)
I never said dope was a constitutional right.
This is true.
Recreational drugs are those people take for enjoyment and eventually become addicted to.
I stand corrected. I had not researched the accepted definition until just now. My bad.
...care for the topic title to see what one poster is writing about?
Not in this thread.
I never said dope was a constitutional right.
This is also true. I was merely reiterating the difference between the two; guns and drugs. As you said, the leftists assign blame to gun dealers and gun shows. I agree. And I say that they promote the business of drug dealers.
Dope and drugs are constitutional rights.
First of all, the constitution says rights are infinite, so then unenumerated, and are all valid until they infringe upon someone else. Only then can you make laws regulating anything.
And since dope/drugs harm no one else, it is unconstitutional to make laws against them.
Even more illegal is to make federal drug laws, since that would require explicit authorization for it in the Constitution.
Guns are also a constitutional right, but clearly guns can infringe upon others, so then some regulation could be legal.
Guns make much more sense to regulate than drugs/dope does.
