I have considered this point. It's completely wrong, but worth consideration. I suppose I should watch "reefer madness" a couple more times. "Alright, buddy!

I still haven't heard any. All I've heard is "you can't get rid of handguns now, why bother?" Frankly, I've been swayed. I agree. Hot death to the bleeding heart liberals! If they don't shutup, there's more bleeding they can do!

That's drunk drivers ALONE. Include diseases caused by alcohol, accidental overdoses caused by cocaine, and stoned drivers, and handgun fatalities are minor. (Include cigarette caused deaths, and handguns aren't even 10% of the deaths caused by drug abuse.) > > JoSH made some good points: > > Yea for JoSH! :-) :-) :-) Wow! Three smiley faces!
