People don't inject marijuana into their veins but a lot of people die
because it is illegal.

so is murder. you wanna legalize that too?

That is not a logical leap.

your argument is that making something illegal increases demand and is
ineffective at driving down the incidence of that event.



You only have to look at "prohibition" to see the problem with banning
anything.

you're right. let's let all the rapists and murderers free

There is a significant difference between banning objects and making
violent crimes illegal.

violent crimes are banned. by your logic, everyone should be involved
in murder and rape because they're illegal. the only way to stop
murder is to legalize it.


fine. i'm willing to live with a small criminal enterprise instead of
the LARGE one we have now.

Why do you thing gun running would be a small enterprise?

because today we have 300,000,000 guns in the country. that volume of
business would gather some attention if it were illegal.
