- Prohibition doesn't work. It was tried. It failed. Miserably.
- The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment, which declared that "the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited."
- Therefore the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms serves no valid Constitutional purpose, is a threat to our Constitutional liberties, and ought to be abolished.
The use of alcohol (and other herbs or drugs) is not contrary to "the laws of Nature and of Nature's God." Prohibition violates "the rule of law."
The Constitution does not give the federal government power to do anything about any addiction, whether alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs.
