There is a lot of violence in the illegal drug trade. Some think the answer is to impose more restrictions on firearms. The way to end drug warfare is to end the War On Drugs. You can't have a war without collateral damage. Remove the profit motive from illegal drugs and there would be nothing to fight about. Has anyone in government noticed? Drugs won.
