A complete diversion
In the early 90s the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco And Firearms took a lot of slack due to conservatives who didn't like how they handled Ruby Ridge and Waco (one is about a militant racist buying sawed off shot guns and the other about a religious group stock piling weapons). What I hate about this is this comes from the same people who condemn rock and roll as promoting self destructive immoral behavior. I see people wearing shirts that say "Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenient store not a government agency" and I want to slap these morons because out here in the boonies and the streets of the major cities that's actually about all they sell at convenient stores. Rows and rows and rows of alcohol, tobacco and gun paraphernalia everywhere. And if the organization was the Bureau of Masturbation, Marijuana and Gambling these so called "family value" fascists would have no problem with it. And let's look at the difference between these 3 parallel addictions based deviant actions. First Alcohol and Masturbation both used by depressed people but masturbation doesn't cause car wrecks or domestic abuse leading to tens of thousands of deaths. Next Marijuana and Tobacco, obviously marijuana is medical in some cases but I won't say that if it were legalized corporate dickweeds wouldn't add rat poison but with regulation pure marijuana can not kill a person by overdose whereas tobacco kills over 100,000 people per year even non-smokers and finally gambling vs firearms, what's the similarity the dreams of easy money from desperate people. Gambling creates jobs and guns kill 10,000 people in America every year. And I hate the saying "if you outlaw guns only criminals will have guns" well yes and then you arrest them for having the gun instead of using them and don't say it's a bad idea when the next time someone gets shot you know you're gonna say why wasn't there anything anyone could do But hey I don't want to change legislation or control the government I just want to put some perspective out there because I have no agenda except to rant against blazing hypocrisy. The actions of the people are more important than the law and even moreso their attitudes. Every one of these six things can be self destructive I know and I don't condone them it's just that for consistency sake I wanted gun freaks and tobacco advocates to see how stupid they sound
