What I think you other countries are failing to realize, is that for better or worse, American society is incredibly stubborn. If you try to take something from us, we will fight you back with twice as much opposition. Look at Prohibition. Alcohol was made illegal to fight booze-related criminal activities. You know what happened? We only wanted it more, and were willing to create [i]more[/i] crime in order to obtain it. In fact, an [i]entire[/i] underground industry was created just to facilitate the desire that the American populous still had for alcohol. The crime rates spiked up so high, that the government had no choice but to make it legal once again. Same exact thing happened with good ol' cannabis. It was made illegal, people still wanted it, crime rates go up, and it's starting to become legal again. They say history repeats itself for a reason, because if guns are ever made illegal in the U.S., you bet your foreign ass that a similar pattern will emerge. You see, you're not simply asking people to give up a material good in exchange for morality and ethics; you're asking people to give up a [i]way of life.[/i] Alcohol, marijuana, and guns will never disappear, no matter how illegal they are, because making things illegal doesn't really solve problems. I'll end my little rant with a friendly reminder: always remember that when your life is [i]seconds[/i] from ending, the cops are [i]minutes[/i] away. :)
