When someone is about to start doing some mental contortionism in order to try to justify statism, they'll often make the statement, "it's a very complex issue". No, it really isn't. They're lying to try to appear deep and smart and to justify the unjustifiable.
"Gun control" isn't a complex issue. You have no right to forbid weapons of defense to anyone, and you can't delegate a right you don't have.
"Drug legalization" isn't a complex issue. You have no right to forbid the manufacture, possession, or sale, nor the ingestion, inhalation, or injection of substances. You can't magically acquire that right just because you think it's necessary. You have no right to have people do things you have no right to do without asking them to become bad guys. Prohibition is enforced by bad guys, only.
"Immigration" [sic] isn't a complex issue. You have the right to allow (or bar) anyone on (or from) your property. For any reason or no reason at all. You have the right to hire or trade with anyone. Your rights end at your property lines-- the only legitimate borders.
"Taxation" isn't a complex issue. It is theft-- specifically extortion. Nothing can make it something else.
Complex issues" look complex only when someone adds all sorts of twists and turns, bells and whistles, bows and ribbons, and flags and laws. At the base, there's probably a simple ethically right thing to do and hundreds of wrong things to do. They have to tell lies to justify the wrong things-- the statist things.
When someone lies and calls a simple issue a complex issue you can be certain they are looking for ways to justify doing wrong. I've run out of patience with the lies told to harm others.
