I love gunners. The Government uses the Drug War against you (same as Alcohol Prohibition) and most of you guys and girls fail to notice. Say. Where is the Drug Prohibition Amendment anyway? Something I have failed to notice.

Answer: Treaties, per U.S. Constitution Article VI, section 2.
Who failed to notice? I damn well did.
Not sure what can be done until the next election.
It’s a penumbra. Call “Ghostbusters.”

So where are all the conservatives who like to complain that we are being ruled by the UN, and foreign law? Where are the sanctimonious concerns about our precious “sovereignty”?
What this means, of course, is that were the U.S. or any state to repeal its drug laws, the U.S. would be in violation of these treaties.
“each Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to establish as a criminal offence under its domestic law, when committed intentionally, the possession, purchase or cultivation of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances for personal consumption contrary to the provisions of the 1961 Convention, the 1961 Convention as amended or the 1971 Convention.”
So treaties trump natural rights according to my “conservative” friends?
Good to know they are not serious.
Bram,
Yes there are individuals out there like yourself. Where is the movement?
Every single time I ask a gun blog owner:
“Do you support the Drug War?” No.
“Do you know that the Drug War is being used against you?” Yes.
“When was the last time you did a post on it?” Uhhhhh……..
CV of course being one of the few exceptions.
