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

[Bailey Guns]

You haven't answered any of my questions, because they are inconvenient to your point of view, so I claim victory.

You're obviously high on some illicit drug. I could just as easily claim, "Yes, he has. You're just a dumbass."

And why are you more right that I am?

[Bailey Guns]

Genetics? Education? Use of rational thought? Pick one.

What makes you more right than Lebowski?

For those who say "we have a right to put anything into our bodies that doesn't hurt someone else", I say, nonsense. If you believe that you've never had to fight someone high on PCP or other strong, mind-altering drug. If people could be locked in their own little bubble to take the drugs and stay there until the high is over or until they die, fine. But we can't do that. They'll still be free to mingle among the rest of the population.

Why can't you guys see that the exact same arguements that you're making apply to guns, which is the whole point of the OP?

Logic.

You think you have better genetics and education than me? That's pretty arrogant.

If your logic were so sound, perhaps society wouldn't have, over time, scheduled more and more drugs.
All of us are arguing opinion. You think drugs and guns are perfectly analogous. Most of us don't. And that's fine.

Rules of arguing on the internet:

#1) If the person you're arguing with stops answering your questions, because doing so would damage their case, you have won the argument.
#2) If the person you're arguing with stops answering your questions, and resorts to insults, you have won the argument.
#3) If either of the above occurs, you are dealing with a liberal or closet liberal.

Seriously, what questions do you feel you aren't getting answered?

You haven't answered any of my questions, because they are inconvenient to your point of view, so I claim victory.

And yet ... I'm not going to recognize your claim.

You turned "How do you reconcile ..." into "Your arguments dont' convince me". Moving the goalposts is not "victory".

Seriously, what questions do you feel you aren't getting answered?

1) If I've got a pound of heroin, how am I going to hurt anyone with it? Throw it up in the air? Spray it from an airplane? Throw the bag in your eye? I could give it to you. Yeah, I could give you a gun too.
2) Well, I have heard about people walking into a place and killing 30 people with a gun. I haven't heard about someone walking into a place and killing 30 people with a bag of crack. Sooo...how am I incorrect?
3) As a RN, you could walk from bed to bed and hit everyone with a hammer. Or put anti-freeze in their IV's. What do drugs have to do with them being able to kill you?
4) Someone could put banned drugs in the water supply, or they could put rat poison. How did banning the drugs help protect you?
5) You said a RN could think of a way to kill people, not me. What does how long they could get away with it have to do with anything? How long could you get away with killing people with a gun?
6) Virginia Tech = 32. Poisons aren't illicit drugs. Your example was Jonestown. Give me an example of more than 32 people being killed with illicit drugs in a single instance.
7) Where did I say legalizing drugs would be good for everyone, or provide any benefit to society?
