First on the drugs. The drug war is B.S. A joke when we think of the money and time spent in LE and prisons. As a good lib(libertarian that is) I think we can make our own choices and live with the results. if your drug use does not hurt me then use away. All these should be legal and big brother has no right or need to protect me from myself. If I screw up and steal/drive/fight/whatever then we should have nasty stiff penalties.

Explosives-There is plenty of danger in just the storage of explosives. Huge danger in handling as well. Not the same with firearms. They should be tightly watched and only avaliable for work needs. And then applied for and used under supervision with someone trained in their use. The last thing I hope to have is my neighbors house blowing up taking out mine because something got wet or he screwed up. That is of concern and the distinction.
