This whole issue confuses me. Do drug criminals mostly kill other criminals? If so, what's the problem?

The same as with the prohibition of alcohol, the only reason there is a problem with drug crime is that drugs are illegal. If drugs were de-illegalized most drug crime would completely disappear within probably less than a year. You never hear about employees of Budweiser perpetrating a drive-by on employees of Coors. Alcohol is probably more potentially dangerous than, say, pot is.

I would like to think that the members of this forum would realize the danger posed by government limiting the liberty of the people.

I seriously doubt it will happen, though. Not anytime soon.
