Hippo, you really want to give the government all that kind of overreaching power over our lives?
Ban Alcohol & drugs: Ok, we've seen what that does, humans will reject the prohibition and bring those economies underground. Leads to "organizations" to protect/guarentee profits from it, by govt definition Organized crime, creates and perpetuates violence. Where as if they were legalized & regulated, local govt oversight would be able to protect the businesses that sold these mind altering substances, AS WELL AS protect the consumers, and the law would still be a check to them if they were unable to enjoy these things responsibly.
People have been enjoying "drugs" and alcohol since the beginning of civilization, who is government to all of the sudden dictate that "THIS IS WRONG AND BAD?" And it is an absolute double standard, because the pharmaceutical industry has done more than just about anyone to increase rates of drug addiction through their synthetic heroin in the form of Hydrocodon and Oxycodon, the war on drugs is a pathetic hypocrisy, and only continues because of corrupt money's influence on government.
Ban weapons: Worst idea ever, the power and right of the individual to defend their own life is and should be a central tenet in all of government. A ban on weapons, especially firearms, would completely neuter the people of any real method to counter government oppression, and as the nature of power is to take more power the government would likely become far worse.
