| Message | Thank you for using that example ECP, couldn't have picked a better one myself. Clearly it's not that simple but I'm sure you will agree, less people would use drugs if they were illegal, that's basic logic, they'd be harder to buy for a start. The temptation of using them would be lessened as they would not be in immediate sight. |

| Message | But that in no way means we should expect no one to have them and therefor not equip our law enforcement with the tools required to handle those people. |

| Message | Besides, we shouldn't have to restrict the right of the people to own weapons when they will overwhelmingly use them for peaceful and constructive reasons. Arming our noble police men and women allows the law abiding to access what is often merely a tool, especially in rural areas, while deterring those who might otherwise use firearms in anti-social/illegal ways. |
