<< Probably not a lot of support for legalizing drugs at the same time the government is banning tobacco and guns. >>

Bill, honestly, has the government banned tobacco? Has the government banned guns? Did you have your right hand on a bible when you wrote that? <g>

The governments war against tobacco is working. People are quiting smoking in ever increasing numbers, and smoking is still legal.

Guns? Do you love guns? Do you wish that everyone had a gun in their car? Do you want to see more teenagers carry guns to school?

I own three guns. I don't want my freedom to possess a gun taken away. At the same time, I want to restrict criminals from buying guns. I want to see penalties for those committing crimes, with a gun, increased. Let's make it more painful for those who would use a weapon to commit a crime.

And..... let's stop supplying repeat offenders with legal help. Convicted felons should have to defend themselves without taxpayer funded lawyers. I work hard for a living. If I commit a crime, I have earned the right to have a good laywer because I have worked for it. Why do convicted felons get a free ride on my back?
