Used guns are always cheaper. Guns in demand are always more expensive. I 
hear if you hang out near liquor stores in most states, you can get 
handguns for $25 or $50. Does this mean guns are cheaper?

Funny, I just looked in the Constitution and I didn't see anything about 
tobacco there.

Why, because they're black? Or they're not in America? Which part of the 
world are they a part of? If you're not happy with Rwanda, I'll point you 
to Cambodia where most of the people died by torture or starvation. Or the 
FSU where people died of being worked to death. Or China, where disease and 
starvation did the work. Or are China, the FSU and Cambodia not a part of 
your world, either?
