Marc isn't right. Rather than deny guns to anybody, allow what the Constitution says. After all, as Marc says, the not-in-prison criminals will get the guns anyway. What will happen if guns are allowed across the board? As we transition into freedom, there will be a few cases of harm and murder. I might be among them. Once the transitions is done, MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME. Execution for murder. Period. The bad guys will be gone because of execution, or from turning into good guys out of fear. Also, there will be less need (maybe almost no need) for attorneys. Marc will be out of a job. - Marc is playing politics. Why? Perhaps truly for political reasons, but maybe to break the country into freedom in the only way people understand - by offering them another dictator.

Marc said we need legalization of weed. He said that those of us who are against legalization of weed are part of the freedom problem. But he doesn't break it down far enough. We can go two ways in legalizing weed. Here's what they are: 1) Legalization by saying, "Go ahead and use weed," by statute legalization 2) Repeal all laws against weed and don't enact any in favor or against it. In other words, forget weed for itself, except to talk about the ways for wise use of it. Then, if there is a problem somewhere, if there is a crime done, if there is damage done, make the guilty party pay. Will this make people stop injuring others because of weed? No. But nothing will do that, especially not laws in favor or against. What will happen is that many innocent weed users will not be penalized for nothing. Also, we won't need as many attorneys or prisons, and the whole population will get a benefit from that, by being taxed less.

Gun freedom is gun freedom. All freedom is freedom. Period. The only freedom that should be diminished is based on harm or damage done by the one who loses his freedom for such. And, the loss of freedom should fit the crime, and be focused on the crime, not on taking his freedom away forever because of a past crime - except in cases of execution. In these times of terrorism, EVERYBODY should have guns. But because we are not used to it, we should be broken into it with training over a period of time. Limiting guns to anybody is taking away freedom from them. Criminals who lose their gun freedom have lost it because of their own voluntary throwing it away via their criminality. Make the punishment match the crime: pay beck four times for stealing, and "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, life for life."
