The drug laws have proven to be nearly impossible to enforce. By definition, that's bad law. They should be repealed. Then there would be no need to choose which laws to enforce.
OK now we are getting some where. The question is not about the legality of or the morality of using drugs it is about the morality of folloing the LAW (in general) or not.
I sometimes wonder if law are not enforced to press an issue. We have thrown Billions of dollars at the Drug problem only to have Billions more taken out of our economy to pay for those same drugs and the more moeny that is spent on each end the more drugs are imported and the more tax dollars are needed to fight the problem.
I wonder if parts of the government want the issue rather than the resolution of the problem. The drugs, viloence, and crime all make for good sound bites during an ellection, unenforcable laws make for great campain platforms to be re-ellected. New laws make for a larger government, new agencies, new offices, more power for hte ellected as the budgets grow and grow. Because with base line budgeting if we outfit a new organization with cars, uniforms, firearms, computers and the stuff needed to run it, we have ot spend that amount again next year plus the rate of growth. The new agency just got all new toys and gear they do not need ot spend that same amount on new equipment that is only a year old but it is budgeted for it and that is how our deficits have grown by leaps and bounds, why social security has been robbed over and over.
Let's look at the poverty and the war on it started by Johnson, all it has done is made the government larger, transfered over a trillion dollars from tax payers to tax takers that could have been better spent on government works projects, could have been better spent on infrastructure of the nation rather than allowing people to sit at home. Instead we have section 8 housing that is crime ridden and the sorounding businesses leave leaving less and less for those people till only armored liquir stores and armored junk food are left paying minimum wage for the ones that are willing to work if they can get one of the few jobs.
We look at the gun laws, more and more gun laws that in areas that are harder and harder to get firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens are rampant with crime. The goal is to show that we have tried everything and the only answer is to confiscate all guns. These are the same areas where liberals are in charge and implamenting their ideas, and all it does is cause more and more problems.
Illegal safe zones add to drunk driving, add to the costs of insurance as property damage is done by un insured, un registerd and un licensed drivers. Fire arms are removed from the honest citizens and crime goes up. The liberals like to show statistics of murders in gun prohibited countries, but they do not show and are not willing to show the difference between a free state and a liberal state. They are not willingto show the violence in countries like England where attacks and muggins are rampant and thugs prey on unarmed subjects.
