I don't see how, as democrat, you can support legalization of Marijuana when in the same breath you say you want more gun control. So you want the government to get out of your face about pot, but you want them to get more in your face regarding gun rights? I thought this progressive idea was more about getting away from the nanny state, not moving more towards it. I thought democrats cared about civil rights and cared about upholding the principle of government BY THE PEOPLE. In order for this to ultimately function properly, the PEOPLE must be armed well enough to counteract a government coup (most likely at the federal level) against the people. The second amendment had nothing to do with hunting. It had to do with the democratic principle that the people hold the power and therefore should have the means to protect themselves from tyranny. Maybe I'm full of false preconcieved notions here. Or maybe the principles of being a democrat are starting to be changed to be more "crazy" liberal.
