I think he meant "US DEA and South America, No More Weapons", but opted for brevity.

Sure thing bud, soon as you stop the flow of ilegal drugs and people into our country we will get right on that.

Some one needs to add a "Please, Eric Holder, " sign to the top of that...

The best way to do this is to stop the flow of automatic weapons into Mexico," he added.

 

And these automatic guns are coming from where?

 

Maybe you should police your own cesspit of a country jackaas.

More fuel for the anti-gun UN nut jobs.

I am still trying to sort out NRAs messages -- on one hand, "the idea that mom and pop shops in USA are flooding Mexico with firearms are preposterous", and on the other hand, "DEA is responsible for letting thousands of straw purchases walk". These two things somehow don't compute together.

 

SpecialK: I think it would be easier still if USA just stopped consuming those drugs to begin with.

^^^^^ this!!

The easiest would be to just legalize them which would in turn destroy the market for them actaully.

This. How many thousands have died and how many billions have been spent in the prohibition of marijuana as compared to the prohibition of alcohol? We know that the Temperence Movement was WRONG. Prohibition does not eliminate vice. It only makes vice more profitable.

What he said. (post above mine).

 

There is money in prohibition, that is why it is pushed. The only way they like things legal is monopolizing them, but even that can be less profitable.

Beat me to it!

100% Every time some A$$ hole smokes what he/she thinks is a harmless joint they are supporting Narco-terrorism.

This isn't likely to happen -- at least not during the lifetime of this voting generation.

 

Issue one, there are far too many meal tickets out there depending on the persecution of the War On Drugs, which has conveniently started to intersect with War On Terror. Rolling that war back is almost akin to rolling back the military industrial machine. Not impossible, but very difficult.

 

Issue two, the current generation of American voting public at large feels very comfortable with the "morality issues" being legislated. A party that would normally advocate the abolition of the Prohibition on the grounds of individual's freedom and personal responsibility has been overwhelmed and intoxicated by an influx of ideology that twists these notions into directions completely Taliban-esque.

 

There would be some hope for the Prohibition to end if it somehow benefited the corporate paymasters of the current ultra-conservative surge, but there is simply no big profit to be made by them from the legalization of drugs. Any legalization would naturally be only palatable on conditions of stiff new regulations and taxation -- not something Big Pharma or Big Agro would appreciate. In addition, if you remove the additional costs and markups caused by they illicit nature of recreational drugs, they are actually cheap as dirt. There is no long-term big margin prospect in a product that could be would grow in backyards of most of 48 contiguous states all by itself, as a weed, or could be concocted by a bucketful for a cost of jug of laundry detergent.
