124. Holy sophistry Batman!
Your examples are incorrect. Possession of drugs is illegal, anywhere. Murder is illegal, anywhere. Rape or molestation is illegal, anywhere. Gambling is only illegal when organized; people play Texas Hold'em or Fantasy Football with friends legally in their own homes routinely.

Smoking is a legal activity. Businesses and towns may forbid you to smoke on their property, but you don't own that land. It's similar to the fact that a man with a suspended license can legally drive around on his own land, but not on public roads. It's your home - and cigarettes are legal to possess.


What do you think the end game is here? Are you going to call SWAT in to stop homeowners because a few will no doubt resist with violence? Are we going to relive the wonders of setting children on fire with flash bang grenades tossed onto them while sleeping or the point blank execution of pets during raids? That isn't freedom!
