Not sure how I feel about this. Every dog has it's day, and on this one, I'm with Trump. What has me confused is how it would be implemented. If he was serious on this, the very people he and his DOJ would be going after would be many of his own donors being they either run or supply opioids to doctors and hospitals for profit. It's been stated a few times that Big Pharma puts pressure on hospitals to give out the drugs being they are cheap and easy to make, and like with crack, very addicting in low doses. It's also made worse when Motrin was once the "hardest" drug you got in the military. Loose a limb, Motrin 800's 4xpills, 3-4 times a day with water. Had a baby, same thing. Now it's a opioid divertive or something close, and you get that the way we got Motrin before, and for lesser pain levels. I think this will be directed to street level people who make peanuts compared to those who "legally" sell and push it to doctors to give to us. Is having the death penalty worth it when those it would be inflicted on aren't those who really are doing the killing or use the cloak of R&D, ROI, and legal statutes to do the same thing a street pharmacist goes to prison for?

If a person commits suicide, with a gun, is the gun manufacturer or sales outlet eligible for the death penalty? Even the opioid epidemic is widespread and results in many deaths, it is a consentually used drug. Doubt it will pass Constitutional muster. As with past War on Drugs, this will not succeed. The question remains, do we deny those with excruciating pain relief because of addiction?

Our local VA hospital is trying to cut back on opioids by using other methods of pain control. You wouldn’t believe the hate mail.

I expect if we stick to topics other than politics and race, you would find there is a lot we agree on.

MCPO Roger Collins - that is the truth. So are you ready to officially declare the Navy owns the USMC too?

Much like the "three strikes" law, many law enforcement do not like "mandatory" sentences, especially the death sentence. If the offender has nothing to lose, they may decide to take a few cops with them.
Also, like the old "just say no" idea, this will not stop the use of drugs.

My issues with the death penalty is that someone could be convicted of it, and outlive everyone on this site while they make their legal appeals. Due process is a bitch sometimes. My next issue with the death penalty is who is on death row usually....minorities and the poor (regardless of race). Scott Peterson is still on D.R. and will be there for a long time unless he gets commuted to life. My last is my biggest issue with the D.P......when a man or woman is innocent and executed anyways. Those care "no-return incidents" and those involved never seem to be held accountable for what they did or didn't do.
After all that, I'm still for the death penalty.
I was rather pissed when Bubba thought that "three strikes" crap up. All it turned out to be was a money maker for for-profit prisons, made one hell of a backlog for the courts, and made it extremely easy to get a life sentance after your first two offenses. That isn't right in all cases. That law was/IS wrong, but it is what it is.

Capt Dwayne Conyers - Since when has that mattered? The law is only applicable to us "commoners". If they truly enforced what they preached, Lord help Big Pharma and every legislator in office now. They'd all be doing some hard time or are on death row.

SPC James Harsh - Note who originally said weed was a bad thing even though there have been studies since the 60's to show there is some good to it. Hell LSD was found to have valid medicinal purposes. Now if those were federally legalized, Big Pharma can't make profits or govern who gets it where and under what circumstances. Sessions would be helping Big Pharmas bottom line while spreading "Alt-facts" that it's the Cartels brining it all in. We can grow better and more potent strains of weed than the skunk weed the cartels are bringing across the border.
War only benefits one group of businesses, but they hide it in "patriotism". Mention terrorist, ISIS, ISIL, Syria, Islam, and you suddenly have a monetary windfall for the major defense contractors. You'll have entire news cycles dedicated to it.

Yes, SSG Warren Swan… the lower socioeconomic classes get scrooed. Yes, a uniform excuses what a civilian would be prosecuted for. But right is still right and wrong is still wrong. God will sort it all out in the end.
