I just had an epiphany. Why not end the drug problem by simply confiscating all the illegal drugs?

I am surprised nobody thought of this before.

Yep.
The other side of this coin is that you can't have Anything Goes, either: I live in one of America's Ground Zeroes for that. Loads of OD's per day and climbing.

I'd be all for "Common Sense" gun reform if

a) The left would argue honestly about it (has never happened)
b) There was an equal emphasis on mental health prevention - and not the easily abused Red Flag stuff
c) Gun crimes were cracked down on - hard (the left doesn't want to make crime laws tougher)
d) Frivolous nonsense like "let's sue the gun manufacturers was stopped (also not happening)

Problem is, there aren't any serious voices at the table.
