Now, imagine if some country which Americans love visiting was to pull a classic US move, and ban people crossing their border if they ever get in touch with the gun industry.
Does that make you angry, Americans?
Imagine the following scenario if you would:
You and your partner are going to Mexico for summer vacation and you just landed in Cancun. Or, you’re visiting Paris with your future partner and you can’t wait to see the city of love.
At the border, you hand over your passports to the border police officer. The officer glances over it, types in your name in the computer and tells you that you are not allowed to enter. |

Thirty years ago I drove into Canada from Niagara Falls, NY. They asked me a bunch of questions.
Do I have a gun. No.
Do I own a gun. Yes.
That was the wrong answer.
They tossed the car. Emptied everything out on the sidewalk. Opened all the bags. Found nothing and said I was free to go. I had to repack everything myself.
They didn't deny me entry, but they inconvenienced the h**l out of me to make it clear they didn't like guns.
Now the shoe is on the other foot. Too bad. |

This new policy says that if you are coming to the US for anything related to cannabis, you’ll be denied entry.
Wait, what?
If you tell CBP that you're coming to the USA to engage in illegal commerce they won't let you in?
Now that makes no sense at all...(/sarcasm)
I assumed they were going to say that if you used Cannabis in a country where it's legal CBP would turn you away. That might have been worth complaining about. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
