snoop1130 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 When the “freedom” to own guns was constitutionally embraced in America a long time ago, critics must have given the same warning as their Thai counterparts up in arms against the “legalization” of cannabis at the moment. Firearms would be misused, it must have been said. The weapons could have fallen into the wrong hands. Tragedies would happen. Powerful businesses joined the fray in America. They did not come out to say directly that gun ownership freedom would give them huge profits, but everybody knew that the industry was formidable politically and its lobbying strength was virtually unmatched. And everyone knows all too well that the industry can easily survive occasional bumps on the road, when random shootings unleashed by “maniacs” occur at schools or fast-food restaurants. Thailand’s cannabis legalization uproar mirrors the US controversy. The leaves could easily be misused. Or they could have gone into the wrong hands. Tragedies could be around the corner. Then there are those standing to benefit handsomely.

Popular Post mikebike Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 WTH? I could go with an alcohol analogy and prohibition, but to compare mj legalization to gun ownership is asinine. 11 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thaichina Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 This is a pretty bad article, to read ONLY after 2 medical puffs.

Popular Post Dogmatix Posted June 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 What a stupid article. He writes as if Americans didn't own guns yet when the 2nd amendment was passed. Of course they had just fought a revolutionary war with citizens largely providing their own firearms and gun ownership was widespread. The idea was simply to retain the right to own guns. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even a mildly interesting thought when you've got couch-lock. It's a buzz kill dude! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
