Making drugs illegal sure make them less prevalent. Can you find them on the shelves of your convenience store (like alcohol or tobacco)?

We could go around a lot with this kind of reasoning Tracy. I could respond by saying that work cause sometimes depression and that depression leads sometimes to murder. So do we make illegal work?

I would be very interested in knowing how much lives were saved here in Canada because a drunk and/or drugged citizen didn't have an easy access to a gun in a violent dispute. Sure he can go with a knife, but do we agree that it's easier to outrun a drunk with a knife than one with a gun?

>Most gun crimes (please correct me if the stats prove otherwise) by normal citizens are family based (or at least both parties know each other) and involved alcohol or drugs. Wouldn't it make more sense to totally restrict the access to the public of alcohol or drugs?

>Our experience has shown that making drugs illegal does not make them less prevalent and the same was proven during prohibition, was it not?
