Just like it was never about the drugs, it isn't about the guns either.

It's all about CONTROL. Their control over us.

I remember back in 1986 or 1987, when that college basketball player, Len Bias, overdosed on cocaine and died. I also remember the media and the government going ape-sh*t over it, and screaming for more Federal powers to combat evil drugs.

Even back then, I saw the escalation of the "Drug War" as having nothing to do with drugs. Rather, it was a massive power grab designed to eviscerate the Bill of Rights in general, and the 4th Amendment specifically.

So let me say with bitter sarcasm and extreme prejudice, "Thank You, oh naive and gullible Drug War supporters, for ushering in the end of the Republic, and the emergence of the totalitarian super-nanny-state!"

Hey, we've got no rights to our property, our children, our bodily fluids, or finances! But at least we're DRUG FREE.

(SPITS) That kind of freedom is Orwellian, described in "1984" as "That dog is free of lice".

amen to that.

Hey, we've got no rights to our property, our children, our bodily fluids, or finances! But at least we're DRUG FREE.

You're half right. We're nowhere near drug free, nor are we even headed in that direction ... the street prices of illegal drugs are stable or falling.
