We clearly released the firearms genie over two centuries ago. You note we did for alcohol. And, we are doing it for gambling and marijuana as we speak. Prostitution is in line, I'm sure...it's victimless, right?

Are we making a country in which our grandkids will want to live and raise their kids?
