Pot heads tend to be lazy sorts. I believe the prescribed folks in California are allowed to grow their own, yet they continue to go to the dispensarys. We still make a lot of money on beer an wine sales. And beer is easy enough to brew and wine isnt all that difficult. Neither are tomatoes or tobacco dificult to grow.

Isn' t part of the problem that Americans are buying illegal drugs? I thought this was a fair statement. Just wondering.

Sure, Americans are buying drugs. But it does not appear that our federal government has made a real effort to secure our borders. If they had done that, then maybe the supply of drugs would be a mere trickle. Instead, they have ignored our borders and national security for as long as any of us can remember. Drug smuggling is one symptom of poor border security.

To my way of thinking its our problem to secure the borders we want secured. If it isn't in the Mexican peoples interest to secure their own borders They shouldn't be asked to do it for us. The drug problem is our problem it isn't the Mexican people that smoke the crack. The guns problem is a Mexican problem. Let them solve their own problem. If Americans want to blow out their brains with crack let them. But why should it be a Mexican taxpayers problem. If I were the Mexican government I would encourage a legal trade and tax the transport of the drugs. It would eliminate a lot of the violence and force us to accept our responsibilies for our own border and this nations drug use. By the same token the Mexican Government has no bussiness telling us what our gun laws should be and telling us to restrict our own gun trade. A good neighbor has a good fence and minds his own business. Once my neighbor starts telling me how to conduct my business we have lost any communication between the two of us.

Let me see if I got this right.

Most guns are illegal in Mexico Most people are not allowed to own guns.

Most people are allowed to have scary guns in the United states.

Mexico has a problem with their Criminals being out of control

We lock up our criminals in jail.

People in the United Are Pretty Civilized and polite even along the border.

Our criminals understand that the good guys sometimes shoot back and defend themselves

Mexican Police are scared, that the bad guys are going to try to shoot them.

Our gun policy is obviously working better for us than Mexico's is for them.

And Holder wants to make our gun laws more like Mexico's?

I don't understand the logic. Shouldn't Hillary be trying to convince Mexico to permit their citizens to arm themselves?
