you should be forbidden from moving freely around society without an escort. You are clearly a danger to yourself and others. 
Drugs, Race and Common Ground: Reflections on the High Point Intervention
by David Kennedy
Editor's Note: At the 2008 NIJ Conference, David Kennedy, director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, talked about his work to combat drug markets, especially the High Point Intervention, an innovative program that is now being replicated in at least 25 sites around the country. This article is based on his remarks.
When Chief James Fealy arrived in High Point, N.C., in 2003, he found parts of the city awash in drugs and dealers. But rather than relying on traditional suppression and interdiction approaches to fight the problem, Fealy — who had worked narcotics for more than a quarter of a century in the Austin (Texas) Police Department — spearheaded a new, potentially transformative strategy.
Its roots were in the now-familiar "focused deterrence" approach, which addresses particular problems — in this case drug markets — by putting identified offenders on notice that their community wants them to stop, that help is available and that particular criminal actions will bring heightened law enforcement attention. The High Point initiative, however, added the unprecedented — and initially terrifying — element of truthtelling about racial conflict. The result of these conversations in High Point was twofold: a plan for doing strategic interventions to close drug markets and the beginning of a reconciliation process between law enforcement and the community.
Here is how the High Point Intervention works: A particular drug market is identified; violent dealers are arrested; and nonviolent dealers are brought to a "call-in" where they face a roomful of law enforcement officers, social service providers, community figures, ex-offenders and "influentials" — parents, relatives and others with close, important relationships with particular dealers. The drug dealers are told that (1) they are valuable to the community, and (2) the dealing must stop. They are offered social services. They are informed that local law enforcement has worked up cases on them, but that these cases will be "banked"
temporarily suspended). Then they are given an ultimatum: If you continue to deal, the banked cases against you will be activated.
This strategy is being replicated in other cities by the Bureau of Justice Assistance through the Drug Market Intervention Initiative.

failed war on drugs. so to solve a problem with gun crime you go after drugs, how about enacting some sensible gun laws? This is the last post on the subject I find people in the RKBA have one agenda (NRA) and they won't accept any laws on guns or gun ownership period.
Then I can only assume that you are cognitively deficient, functionally illiterate or deliberately obtuse. Most people here will have nothing to do with the NRA, and the few members here almost universally have deep disagreements with some of their actions and many of their statements.
If you'd actually pay attention to what people are saying, you'd figure that out.
P.S. No-one here advocated "go after drugs". More reading skills problems?
The driver is law abiding until they get drunk and get behind the wheel of a car.
The pedestrian is a law abiding citizen until they jaywalk.
Care to impart more of you wisdom to us?
and I support CC for law abiding citizens.
And I would change Many to Majority. 
or not 
Drives home the point even better, too.
