Quoted:
Bullshit, the drug is a killer of lives and it's real. From what I've seen in my federal practice, the people caught and the meth destroyed are but a small percentage of what's out there. They don't need a red herring to conduct LE in this area.

So it's a killer, so is poverty, fascism, communism, you name it. How does that justify what the feds are doing to stop it? Killing more people is sort of a lousy solution. How do you feel about moonshine? Is it only bad because the government says it is bad (because it doesn't collect any tax on "illegal" alchol)? Or is it bad because it's truly immoral to drink moonshine?
If you could see what I've seen, you would not say that. I have no sympathy for these people and they should NOT be giving gunowners a bad name. Don't make them your poster children. The travesties are anomolies, NOT THE NORM. Wake up and stop believing the hype.

Who is giving gun owners a bad name? Today meth, tomorrow, some other substance. I have no idea what you mean about poster children. I might ask you to not "believe in the hype," I believe nothing will stop people from obtaining the substances that they desire.
The gun laws in this country are gross and have gone too far, however, fighting them by sticking up for meth peddlers is not the answer.

Steve, with all due respect, you obviously profit from the drug war via your practice. Which one of is it that thinks he can actually change the world and knows what is best? Sounds like you. I'll bet you profit from all the draconian gun laws, too! How can you on one hand believe in freedom, and then turn around and profit from tyranny? Answer: You can't, you're a hypocrite!
I don't think "seeing what you've seen" would change my mind one bit. I haven't led a sheltered life and I'm not some stupid 16 year old kid shooting his mouth off on a subject he knows nothing about. You've committed the sin of pride, and all the excess moralizing going is the real problem, not a crack house or meth lab or guy who owns machine guns.
