Drug trafficking brings in as much as $750 billion in the US each year. Would love to see a source for that number. A *credible* source that is. I don't believe it for a second.

It’s not gun violene.
It’s people violence.
End those people, end the violence.

Given that as the term is commonly used, the majority of deaths from "gun violence" are suicides, ending the War On Drugs wouldn't eliminate such violence.
That doesn't mean it's not still a good idea, though.

To end theft, make stealing legal.
To end government corruption, make bribery legal.
To end adultery, make sex with anyone, any time legal. (Oh, wait, we already did that.)

I don’t know if Cain was stoned when he killed Abel (or was it the other way around?), but I’m fairly certain he didn’t have access to a gun when he wiped out one quarter of the earth’s population.

Guns aren’t violent.
People are violent.
The violence of people will be here as long as people are here.
That is all.

I don’t see that doing so would end gun violence. However I still think it’s a good idea to end it. And with it hopefully a whole lot of this unconstitutional asset forfeiture. Which is not forfeiture at all, it’s confiscation.

Too bad Bob Dylan wasn't around back then.

Thank goodness we have the sanity and rationale of Newsweak. The scumbags who bring anti-President Trump trash so much, they’re often featured on HuffPo Yahoo. Constantly.

If one is going to end the war on drugs, I would suggest ending my the silly practices of pointless emergency treatment and hospitalizations for the consequences of overdoses and IV drug use overwhelming city hospitals. If one wants to kill themselves with drugs, that’s their business.
To: JP1201
Or perhaps fight the War on Drugs like it’s an actual war.

That is a simplistic claim that holds no truth whatsoever. While there is violence related to the drug trade, it us not the only source ore reason for rising violence in this country. Thar rising violence is the direct result of the erosion & elimination of God in our society. Without God people do not police themselves.
