Man, that is awesome. Military troops is a great idea then, I guess.

Tell me what you think they are going to do. Thwart drug use in your town? How so? National guard troops are going to prevent drug use in your town? They're going to make the people in your town not want drugs? Or they are going to magically arrest the people in your town that sell drugs. Truly, tell me what the national guard trops are going to do. No offense, but you're stupid if you think they will have any effect.

How so? Be specific.

It's a dumb idea. If you subscribe to it, you're dumb. No offense but looking at the history of things, no other conclusion makes any sense. It won't work. Drugs have been against the law forever. Hasn't made any difference in the population's appetite for drugs. What does that tell you?

I read recently the governor of New Mexico declared a State of Emergency in a portion of her state due to drugs and crime. Was that an appropriate time to have military troops deployed ?

I believe that in many cases today available law enforcement is inadequate. The BLM riots, ANTIFA foolishness and January 6th are easy examples. I believe in Alaska and several other places illegal drugs are to readily available. It looks to me like criminals not only have no fear of their neighbors and family but also feel no fear of law enforcement.

Personally, I believe criminals should fear being seen or caught by anyone; pedestrians, teachers, housewives, school principals, law enforcement and me. National Guard too.

Mike, do you feel safer today than you did when 14 or 25 years old? Do you think your children are safer during their childhood under your roof than you were under your parents roof? I doubt you do. That doesn't have to be.

My grandfathers in my lifetime owned less than 6 firearms between them. A single rifle, maybe two or three shotguns and a single revolver. Both were outdoor sportsmen. I believe both considered themselves and their families perfectly safe. My father and uncles in my lifetime owned less than two dozen firearms. One uncle owned none, one owned about a dozen and a half, my father owned less than a dozen. All three were outdoorsmen and heads of household and I believe they considered themselves and their families perfectly safe.

I own more than two dozen but am actively trying to reduce the herd. How many do you own Mike? Do you feel safe? Neither of my grandfather's kept firearms by the bedside while they slept. Do you? I have one in the bedroom, one in the middle of the house and one near the door. I've never in my life even wondered if my home was in danger. What about you Mike?

Drugs and the criminals pedaling drugs are to liberal, to available. Current law enforcement has demonstrated itself to be in capable. I appreciate Trump labeling the Cartels as terrorist organizations and i hope they receive a few dozen drone strikes. Itd be great if Delta Force was on the ground with them. I'd like to see the Montana National Guard stamp out the Sinaloa Cartel in Butte. I'd like to see the Alaska National Guard erase the drug traffic in Alaska.

Specific enough?

Calling me stupid twice and saying no offense twice doesn't really work. Stupid is offensive. Believing me to be so is fine, I don't mind, but if you don't want to be offensive you can keep it to yourself.

unfortunately army is never an answer to retrieve law and order but you can think as you want alas it will not fix the issues nor blaming your neighbour on the drug issue like your leader is trying to blame canada for drugs and immigrants flowing to your country ...

they are issues but we are all responsible for that including a let go in the society at large and having released the legal use of weed like in canada thinking it will help ... which of course it did not.
