    Did you read the part of the article where they say gun exclusions might only hold up where there is a threat of violence?

      The reason he bought a gun was because a drug dealer pointed one at him, continuing to engage with dealers, while armed, is a risk of violence.

      This is why we don’t allow addicts to have guns.

        Threat of violence and in response to a risk of violence are potentially two different things.

        Also, I’m not pro guns. But buying a gun for protection is a huge reason why people support gun ownership.

          To add on to this, it wouldn’t be nearly as violent a trade as it is if we had some sane drug laws.

          I’m not saying we should just sell crack at Walmart. However, if you give already existing addicts a prescription to a clean, state provided supply they’ll have no reason to go to dealers.

          The illicit drug trade will fucking collapse. There’s no way you can sustain that business without addicts.

            Agreed.
