so guns should be allowed but drugs shouldn't? please someone, explain the logic behind this because they seem like basically the same arguments to me. Note: 'drugs' means all drugs, not just weed. EDIT: i am NOT saying drugs and guns are the same, but that the arguments people use to ban one can easily be used against the other. [u]arguments for banning either guns or drugs:[/u] they can be dangerous to inexperienced users they can harm or kill you and others [u]arguments for not banning guns or drugs:[/u] using them is a fun activity and when used properly and safely pose little risk to the user (note: in the case of drugs 'used properly and safely' does not include getting addicted) a person has a right to the freedom to own and/or use them so long as they are not putting others in any harm or otherwise infringing their rights. why should we treat them differently?
