Open and concealed carry "privileges" suspended in Albuquerque for 30 days

[Rickybillegas]

Judge Urias I believe only gave an emergency temporary injunction, to be revisited on October 3 (if I recall).

We'll see what he says about this latest actions by Grisham about parks and playgrounds.

So stay tuned.

I believe the reason for legalization of drugs, has a dark agenda behind it. Look no further than what is happening in Oregon,and Washington and now with the disarming of the law abiding citizens. Just like California with marijuana legalization, but Oregon and Washington went a step further with just about every single street drug being legal to some extent or other. I would not doubt it if within the next year or so that California follows Oregon and Washington in the legalization of illicit drugs.

Legalized drugs is the Blue Pill.

Legalized drugs is the Blue Pill.

I often bristle at the over-usage of the terms redpill and bluepill, but you are absolutely correct in this instance. Narcotics sap all motivation, desire, and even fundamental awareness out of users. Ivory tower elites could hardly dream of a better way to round up the masses into whatever feudal arrangement desired than to numb the individual spirit of the people with mind-altering substances.

What better way than to circumvent the law of the land as the numbed out population watches news skit on Saturday Night Live and actually believe it is actually the news.

The elites aren't the ones doing it, the people are doing it to themselves.

The people have lost their sense of community and purpose due to deliberate indoctrination and demoralization by elite-driven social engineering.

It?s a Brave New World we live in.

Exactly and Huxley was brilliant to see that. You can inflict pain to subdue the masses, but to inflict pleasure is much more effective because the masses willingly follow.

prohibition does nothing to address the real problem, it's like placing a band aid on a severed carotid artery. why do people seek drugs in the first place? and like guns, alcohol, or anything else subject to government taxation, licensing, or prohibition, has a ban ever worked? get rid of these worthless bans and get to the root of the issue. it may be discovered that certain percentage of the population have personality traits that make them especially susceptible to drug use. and it may be that there is no solution for it. but i'd rather these people be free to remove themselves from the gene pool than for the government to continue wasting money on things that don't work. things work out for the best when government is limited.

Right just look what the prohibition of booze did for American, only made a bunch of criminals out of honest people and really sent the normal street thug up the social status ladder of being medicor middle class into the millionaire class. Government corruption ran amuck and street violence excelled to its highest all of time, all because of a stroke of a pen. We have seen the same thing with the war on drugs it is a lost battle. But maybe you have something if all those that users of drugs by happenstance take themselves out of the gene pool, could save trillions of taxpayers money. End the war on drugs and legalization of everything. This would put the Cartels out of business immediately.

No it wouldn't. Ending prohibition didn't stop any of the makers from continuing to distill or brew alcohol. Ending drug prohibition won't stop the cartels for the same reason.

The only way to stop people from dosing themselves into somnolent compliance with whatever the government wants as long as they can continue to please themselves, is to prevent them from starting "because it's cool to get high."

So, in California, it's cheaper to buy illegal MJ from the guy on the street than in a legal California pot shop?

Oftentimes, yes. Ignoring regulations, avoiding taxes, and utilizing South American labor saves huge amounts of money.

[homelessdude]

When the government says they are going to legalize something what they really mean is they are going to control it, tax it, and arrest people trying to do as they please without the government up their ***.

Judge Urias only issued a temporary emergency injunction.

There is a another hearing coming up on Oct. 3 I believe to consider whether to extend the TI or issue a permanent one.

Let's all hope Judge Urias shows as much guts as he did before.

I guess not all D judges are bad. Look at Judge Kobayashi of DC Hawaii.
Same thing. God bless 'em.
