I think a lot of the obvious names have been trademarked... And count me among those who favor legalization, FWIW.
Since you're a legalizer in agreement with me, my Post #26 wasn't aimed at your little pinhead, so why did you worry about it?
And if the growers chose to engage our military, that's exactly what they'd be... target practice. The police were quoted as saying that they are sitting ducks out there. They said the men are armed and that they aren't afraid to use their assault rifles. The police are not equipped or trained for this kind of engagement. You can call it whatever you want, but this isn't your run-of-the-mill drug dealer. They said as much in the article. Yeah, the shoplifters and sidewalk-spitters are carrying AK's with the intent to use them, right? How old are your friends? Vietnam vets? Things have changed old timer.
I don't think that some people are understanding that you are suggesting military use to remove armed, dangerous and organized syndicate activity. I think some of them are (purposefully?) implying you're suggesting we have the military gun down average joe pot seller out in the woods.
Nice try, but you'll need a more clever semantic turnaround than that to change your story--laughing that you want farmers gunned down for fun as target practice. In California, polls show that the legalization measure will win in a few months. Get your jollies while you can.
Oh I get it now, you're joking. Sorry, you had me going for a minute. I thought you were being serious, but it's obvious now that you're being sarcastic. I didn't realize that farmers carry AK-47's. I didn't realize that they hide in the trees, waiting for trespassers. I didn't realize that they would put booby traps in the woods to protect their crops. We aren't talking about farmer John on his perfectly legal plot of land, growing his corn or wheat. We're talking about a heavily armed group of individuals who are growing an illegal crop in the middle of the woods. You might want to get your facts straight before you start insinuating things.
Farmers don't carry AK-47s to guard their pigs, corn, wheat, cattle, etc. If it were legal, nobody'd feel the need to carry an AK-47 to protect their crop.
Oh, I'll bet if CA legalizes it and that goes ok, you'll see other states legalizing it in short order. Oklahoma may not, but I bet Oregon would. barfo
