According to the law, weed is a hard drug. It is just as bad as crack, heroin, and cocaine (according to the law).
I should have been more specific in my earlier post. Gun laws banning guns or limiting rounds won’t work. I am all for the background checks for private sales (but not in the way it is currently implemented, where the gun stores are forced to carry most of the financial burden for zero gain), increasing the penalties, and keeping guns away from the mentally ill (again, in this case the way the current law implements it is terrible; it lets people who have little to no training in mental health diagnosis make the decisions). I would support a law that required gun safety to be taught in schools.
Anti-gunners are pointing to guns and saying “That is your problem!” It is not; the problem are the criminals. Take a look at alcohol and drunk driving laws. The law doesn’t make alcohol illegal. The law makers knew that would never work (hell, they tried it in the 20s). Instead the law makes abusing alcohol and putting the safety of others at risk a serious crime and puts in place a logical way to determine when someone is putting others at risk through alcohol abuse.
