Wow, even some of the Mexicans are on board...

...with legalizing drugs. I am not surprised that there are some who don't get it -- namely the Citizen's Council on Public Safety, who argues that the main problem is the government's loss of monopoly on the use of force. Why do they think the government has lost that monopoly? Where do they think the money for the cartels' weaponry comes from?

And then, of course, there's the old implication from this side of the Rio Grande: "drugs 'r' baaad, hmmkay?" But they think banning the guns will fix everything, even though the lion's share of the cartel's weaponry is highly illegal here...
