It sounded crazy when I first heard it, "If cocaine were legal, there would be no meth. It is the poor mans cocaine." Coke is bad news, but nothing compared to meth. Hope they catch this guy.

Yuk! there's nothing worse than a meth-head - oh, wait, yes there is: a meth-head with a gun! Dangerous! Another reason guns need tighter control - there are too many people like this loser who get their hands on guns. Is it fair on the people who are responsible with their guns? No! Are they ruining it for everyone else? Absolutely.
