Drug Laws, States Rights and our Freedom

Los Angeles, CA—As California voters vote on a proposition that will legalize marijuana U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has threatened stepped up federal enforcement.

I think Obama’s Attorney General is delusional since their DEA agents are already overloaded and chasing California pot smokers would simply crash the entire system. Who is going to build all the new federal courthouses and jails to handle the enforcement? They would have to triple the number of federal judges in California.

I’m no fan of non-medical drug use but recognize the Drug War as an utter failure. Enforcement has become much more dangerous and detrimental to our freedom and quality of life than the drug abuse.

A number of states have rejected federal firearms enforcement and others are resisting Obamacare.

Congress has stuck their nose into every aspect of our lives to the peril of freedom. We must begin reversing this trend. States need to begin expelling the federal government’s shadow from everyday life.

The federal government’s role should be only to protect and defend the Civil Rights of Americans from state and local government abuse. States do not need federal police other than for the protection of our borders from trespassers.

Americans don’t need federal police enforcing shadow federal laws in addition the laws of the states. There are those troubling cases of double jeopardy that have no place in the concept of the American experiment.

It’s time to stand up to the kingdom builders in Congress. They’ve been inventing new bureaucracies at every opportunity to regulate freedom and liberty away. That’s a proven way to extort illicit campaign funds from more federal employees and government contractors.

Just say no to Congress.

So when a state decides it's not going to enforce a law, the federal government steps in to override it.

Except in the case of immigration law, when a state decides it's going to start enforcing immigration law, the federal government steps in to prevent it.

Unlike alcohol, the only reason to smoke pot is to get stoned. You can drink moderately and not get high. So a comparison of the two is weak.

However, I totally agree with you about the war on drugs. We lost before it started. Legalize marijuana, tax it, control it's distribution and absolutely hammer anyone who drives a motor vehicle while stoned and keep it away from children.

I believe legal marijuana would knock out massive misuse of other illegal substances, direct police resources to more serious offenses and fill the tax coffers with much needed cash.

My only question: If it is legal, can I as a cop smoke weed when I'm off duty?

Taxing drugs is opening the door to regulation and corruption. Furnishing drugs to minors should be a crime and nothing else.

Chicago Cops Slammed with Sudden Ban on the Sig/Sauer P320—And the Officers Will Pay thePrice

In a move that’s rocking the rank and file, the Chicago Police Department has abruptly banned the use of the once-trusted Sig/Sauer P320 pistol as an authorized duty weapon. The order came down swiftly, leaving thousands of officers scrambling. The official reason? Alarming reports that the weapon can fire without the trigger being pulled. For years now the gun-maker has brushed off horror stories about negligent discharges, usually blaming human error. After all, it’s easier to blame the gun than admit to a deadly mistake. Just think back to Alec Baldwin’s tragic shooting on a New Mexico movie set—he insisted he never pulled the trigger, yet a woman lost her life. But experts were quick to point out that the revolver in question simply doesn’t fire on its own. This, however, isn’t Hollywood. The Sig Sauer P320 has a documented pattern of discharges—many occurring while holstered. Lawsuits are piling up, and the manufacturer continues to deny fault, but the incidents are too numerou...

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
