Why legalize drugs? Legalization of drugs is only a way to provide more money to the governement through taxes....Criminal activity needs to be made completely unprofitable--that is why I suggested instituting public caning, and making executions public again like they used to be, and expanding execution to include rape of a child, trafficking in major narcotics such as heroine, meth, cocaine and opium, dealing drugs to children, or having children do the dealing for you. As well as bringing back chain gangs. Criminal activity has to be made unprofitable. Legalizing drugs is not the answer.Glock27Bill wrote:
Regarding the article, I have no idea how anyone can crack the gang culture. The History Channel frequently runs a series on gangs in America, it's enraging and frightening all at the same time.
Make drugs legal. Watch gangs disappear.
Making drugs legal would destroy their profit center. No more fighting over turf. If you aren't selling drugs, you don't care about street corners. No more robbery for drugs if the price is down from the over inflated blackmarket prices.
Gun crime goes way down, gun rights get harder to attack.
