Do LEGAL DRUGS cause crime?
Another Pharmacy robbed, big shootout..allover drugs. the legal ones. This is the fourth such incident like this over the past few months. One, a lady tried to ram her car into a Walgreens in search of OXY's....ttp://www.topix.com/city/north-highlands-ca/2010/09/two-wounded-in-north-highlands-drugstore-robbery-shooting-manhunt-under-way

Funny but with all the CA medical pot dispensaries, this almost never happens. (the shop of my friend did get burgled last week however)....

1. This is a good anti gun argument too...
seems an employees had a gun and shots started, leaving one employee dead, another critically wounded and the robbers at large with no wounds.

So I thought having a gun in this situation was the end all of crime prevention. Seems to me, in this instance, it is the end all of life prevention.

5. You jest, right?
ALCOHOL, demon ALCOHOL, causes more crimes than any other drug, if you count DWI, rape, spousal abuse and embezzlement as crimes which almost everyone does.
