How can you be pro-gun, but anti-drug?

-There is no constitutional amendment that specifically guarantees the right to keep and ingest drugs.
-Drug use will not protect my family, nor prevent government tyranny.

Having said that, I am typically Libertarian in my views, and believe the War on Drugs is a waste of resources and is a losing proposition. But drugs and guns are two different arguments, and are not analogous in my view.

The purpose of the constitution isn't to tell us what we can do. We can do anything.

Automobile use will not protect your family, nor prevent government tyranny. But you can still use your car, and you can hurt yourself and others with it. I trust you to do what's right with your car.

You missed my point. Or more likely, I did a poor job trying to make it. I agree that the drug war is stupid, but I just can't get as passionate about drug rights as gun rights.

I'm not really passionate about drug rights either. I was just thinking how there really isn't a difference between the reasons you're pro-gun, and the reasons you're pro- legalizing drugs. They're completely different things, but they both have the same exact arguments.
