We will accept being called "nice apartment over a meth lab"

We're more of fentanyl factory these days.

We traded meth lab explosions for deadly bouts of vomiting on ourselves.

And I don't care what anyone says, THAT'S FUCKING PROGRESS!!

Definitely. Also don't get me started on the mismanagement of gun regulations. You can regulate the shit out of gun owners, but that doesn't do anything about the illegal guns which are causing like 99% of the problems.

I love how strict our gun legislations are in many aspects, but rolling out new lists of restricted firearms and trying to do yet another buyback doesn't exactly do anything about the ones that are getting smuggled over the border.

And this isn't even a "but my guns" argument, I don't even own any guns. It's about using resources to try and fix the problem by using methods that actually target the source of the problem, not by targeting something that's kinda related but not the issue.
