Last important part of this quote is missing.

Those who would exchange liberty, for security, will achieve neither- AND LOSE BOTH.

Even banning smoking and hard drugs like heroin?

I suppose you'd consider 'heroin' an essential liberty eh bud?

I don't want anyone other than me to determine what is essential to me and I don't want others to determine which liberties are essential. Id consider opiates to be a detriment to society as a whole but removing individual liberties for the betterment of society is what commies do.

I guess we all have a line somewhere. I don’t think there’s any value to heroin in a society. So I’m not too bothered about it being unwelcome.

Not downvoting you, but that's what freedom looks like.

Did you know that every little drug store in the US sold heroin and cocaine over the counter up until the 20s?

Little old ladies would buy it and put it in their coffee.

Opiate addiction was very well known too, but the people understood freedom and responsibility.

You could also buy a machinegun from the Sears catalog until 1934.

ATF should be a convenience store - not an agency.

No? Never would touch the stuff myself. I'm open to persuasion from both sides.

That’s because you’re an idiot.
