Gun owners who advocate in favor of drug prohibition have no credibility whatsoever.
The “arguments” they use in favor of their position echo those used by the anti-gun bigots, and they can’t see the hypocrisy.
It’s vile.
If you point this out to them, they start with some story about morals, dangers, and societal decay, and I was even told liberty isn't the highest good; their personal idea of morality is.
Any morality that says it's OK to punish those doing what they have a right to do is a worthless, unethical morality.
Once you accept that it's OK to violate those who don't follow your personal moral values, you've conceded that it's OK for others to do the same to you when you fail to follow theirs.
You want to rob and imprison those who consume substances you don't like, saying they are a drain and a danger to society? Guess what. The anti-gun bigots make the exact same argument against guns. And their "evidence" is just as compelling.
Neither has the right to act on their beliefs, but both feel justified. And both are anxious to use the illegitimate power of the state to do it.
Liberty is never meant to be safe. It's not Utopia. It's still the only way to organize a society, or live an individual life, without violating the rights of others. You either respect liberty or you're the bad guy.
Statists don't like liberty because they want excuses to impose their values on others. Don't be like that.
Thank you for reading.
