You get rich every day buying government lottery tickets, right?
Buy them all & be a sure winner.

Hi Cliff: Running out of time needed to give anything but glib
answers? The problem is this liberal viewpoint is created without
examining the entire situation

Like those ~ 8 to 1 odds *against* those with guns?

and giving people their due respect.

For not thinking?

It's easy to totally ignore the people who report their personal
environment would be safer with their ownership of defensive weapons,
but this doesn't solve the situation.

It's easy to jump to the wrong conclusions just because somebody
won a bit on one lottery ticket. IF you don't think.
Read the odds. Calculate the house percentage.
Usually the"winners" as a group get about $1 in $8 spent
(by all) back. Then they pay taxes ...

Do-gooders created prohibition using good intentions and what did it
get us: A larger criminal element by criminalizing the average citizen.

Why are they criminals? Why do they want to be?

The average citizen (and civil servant) knew this was an unjust law

What specific "law" might this be?

and many rebelled against it and learned about flaunting the law in the
process.

??

Now you suggest doing the same thing again; as if we didn't
have enough troubles already.

How many dead?

Makes me wonder why the Dems have their collective heads up their
collective asses on this issue.

I mean, why alienate voters

at this stage of the game instead of trying to work out acceptable
alternatives?
