Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Villas - Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Prohibition should have taught us the basic rule that forbidden fruit is the sweetest. When alcohol was outlawed, there was more of it flowing than ever before; people who normally didn't drink started to imbibe, simply because it was "naughty." The "war on drugs" got us to where we are today. What do you think would happen if firearms were confiscated? Would you feel safer? The Mafia got a huge boost during Prohibition and if guns were outlawed, you will see greater, not less. shootings.
