Banning something is the tool of a weak (and authoritarian) mind. The go-to-solution for those who can't persuade.
Banning something is the tool of a weak (and authoritarian) mind. It's also the go-to-solution for every problem for the DNC. Ignoring that Prohibition only works when the VAST majority of people already want to ban something. Otherwise it shows that someone is unable to convince people on the merits, so needs to resort to force/bullying.

Prohibition[edit source]

           Main article: Prohibition
ProhibitionFlowChart.jpg

These are all facts:

  • Alcohol prohibition created an illicit industry, that empowered organized crime (and mass violence).
  • The War on drugs has not stopped or even slowed illegal drugs. If you doubt me, ask your high school kid if he could buy a joint if he wanted (in states where it isn't legal).
  • In fact the "war" has only increased the profits for running drugs, and lured many into a selling drugs for profit (maybe to get out of the welfare trap). The results are these kids often have to exist in gangs to survive, and they still get killed or imprisoned (where they cost society even more) -- remember gangs have gotten so much worse because now they are fighting over drug-distribution rights (and profits).
  • Our politicians keep telling us if we give up a little more money, take a few more civil rights away, then we will be able to stop drugs and things will be better, when we can't stop illegal drugs in our prisons (with regular strip searches), and police states like Iran have bigger drug problems than we do.

Outlawing most things just make those things more profitable and seedy, and may encourage the actions. Telling someone they can't do something is sometimes a way to make them want to do it more.

Democrats/left misses this key point. You can ban things that the people widely agree should be banned. Which means before banning, you need widespread support of it (persuade). If you ban something that people don't believe should be banned (guns and drugs), they support the rule-breakers either directly or indirectly.

Vicious Cycle[edit | edit source]

  • Public thinks X is scary
  • Authorities ban X to make the rubes feel safe
  • Since demand exists and scarcity increases, the value of X goes up
  • Black market forms (organized crime exploits opportunity)
  • LOOP:
    • Frequency and scale of Violent Crime increases
    • Law Enforcement uses harsher tactics
    • Repeat

2019.04.16 New Jersey Magazine Ban
NJ outlawed them, and got zero compliance; the state could find a single standard-capacity magazine that was turned in. They successfully turned civilians into felons. Though they had never arrested anyone for it either. Tell me, does that sound reasonable - a law that does nothing but makes you a criminal that might be prosecuted if a DA is having a bad day?
Just Ban Assault Rifles
GunBans1.jpg
Anyone that says any variant of "Just ban assault rifles", "no one should own military grade weapons", or "it's not all guns, just these killing machines" shows they are completely ignorant about guns, assault rifles, or bans. (Not to mention the constitution). This article breaks down why you can't ban "Assault Rifles", and why it would be moronic to try.
Redacted High School
George Washington High School.JPG
In San Francisco's George Washington High School, the board voted to remove the mural of their namesake (and 13 others), painted in 1936 by artist Victor Arnautoff (Trotskyite), because it was visually offensive. The 80-year-old mural has survived great earthquakes, riots, vagrants, and all the other natural disasters, but it can't stand up to the California Taliban.
Shadow Banning
TwitterShadowBanning.jpg
Some chickenshit institutions (like Twitter) don't have the balls to come out and explain their policies outright. (Probably because they don't want to be held to objective standards). So they "Shadow Ban" folks -- which is basically silently blocking customers (preventing others from seeing them), and not living up to their expected terms of use.
Smoking
Cigarettes.png
Persecuting smoking and smokers is a modern witch hunt among the left, as proven by the intolerance of progressive areas (California, Oregon, Washington, NY, Mass., etc). Of course that's anti-Science. While smoking isn't healthy it's not as unhealthy as a bad genes, not exercising, bad diet, or bad attitude (stress).
Straw Bans
StrawTrigger.jpg
Banning Plastic Straws (and cocktail sticks) is ignorance-based virtue signaling. 10 rivers (8 in Asia, 2 in Africa) are responsible for 95% of the plastic pollution in the Oceans. The rest of the world is 5%; the U.S. ranks 20th on that list. California decided that banning plastic straws would help with 0.002% of the problem, so they're willing to annoy everyone for a symbolic cause with no benefit and significant harm.
Travel Bans
California tries to show they're the biggest crybully hypocrites with travel bans over various laws they don't like. And of course, the other states don't noitice or care. And California royalty like Newsom and others still go to the places they claim to have banned. It's only for the little people. In the name of caring.
