Jim, I don’t have a problem with social “smoking”, and more than I have a problem with social drinking. But I have seen, first hand, what can come of it when it become just more than social. We’re talking pot here, right? Well, what’s to stop a group advocating for legalizing coke….and not the kind ya drink. What about crack? How ’bout heroin? A little recreational meth?

We’re talking about the difference between the 2nd Amendment, a right of self defense, from foreign and domestic and mind altering drugs. Hmmm….

OK, let’s combine the two. Legalize drugs and vacate the prison beds containing drug offenders. Next, fill those beds with criminals who commit any crime with a gun — with sentences identical to those for murder. Why coddle those who were simply lucky that nothing went wrong, or in the case the gun is actually used but no one dies, are lucky enough to be a lousy shot.

I absolutely agree with you. Yet, in Illinois (which is where my husband owns a business) there is no smoking in any restaurants or bars. My husband has since decided that all gatherings will take place over the border in Wisconsin. Not very good for those business owners. Yet, the government can feel good because they’re helping save people’s lives…or whatever their point is.

Here in Wisconsin, they are doing their best to ban smoking everywhere, while raising taxes on cigarettes because they need the revenue. Soooo, when cigarettes get too expensive, or they’re banned in businesses, isn’t revenue lost? Where’s the sense in that? BTW – Wisconsin has one of, if not the, highest cigarette tax in the nation.

Crap – went totally off point… Sorry Ol’ Broad!!

Olbroad that was a wise decision on your part, I drink but only in moderation.

Well Chris I think there are more important laws to enforce. BUT I DO believe that it should be the law in restaurants to provide NON-smoking sections as well as smoking sections.

Well, I neither drink, nor do drugs……now.

Again of topic, but I’m curious about how you feel about all of the smoking bans. It’s a legal activity, and the government is telling business owners what they can and cannot do in their own property.

I agree. And in a time like now I would be all for recreational pot and putting a tax on it. I would not smoke it but the fact is that alcohol is more dangerous and if you tried to ban that you’d have a problem with me.

I also believe in medical marijuana. But the point is, right now at least, guns are legal and pot is not

Isn’t that a violation of freedom? The answer is yes.

Off topic, but I will tell you…I know that medical marijuana is a good thing.

So why should the government be telling you waht drugs you can and can’t use?

Two different issues. One, responsible gun ownership, the other a drug. Hmmm…. Gee, wonder what the difference is?

Oh for cryin’ out loud. I am so sick and tired of nannies telling law abiding citizens what they can and can’t do. Sheesh!! I don’t live in Podunk, but I’m willing to guess that the neighbors also have targets set up in their own backyards.

And if the neighbors get scared, they can always call the police, who would politely tell them that no laws are being broken, if in fact that is the case.
