1. Universal Health Care: Free Healthcare is a crock of shit, and here are some things that I learned about it from the Cato Institute.
I. There are 800,000 Canadians, 900,000 Britons, and millions of Europeans who
cannot obtain healthcare in countries with universal healthcare. This is due to rationing on a large scale and high costs.
II. Cancer patients in the United States are more likely to survive than cancer patients in Canada, Australia, or most of Europe.
III. People in the United States go without healthcare coverage for very short periods of time.
IV. Countries with more effective Universal Health Care are a result of incorporating market based ideas (such as competition). However, they result in big government deficits.
V. Countries with Universal Health Care are unable to get access to state of the are medical technology.

Michael D. Tanner's Study on this issue is Here, and I would recommend that you read this.

2. Guns: I believe that gun ownership should be legal because it's not only practical, it's also constitutional.
I. Parts of the United States that have the strictest gun control laws (Washington D. C.) have higher crime rates than those with Right-to-Carry laws (Lafayette, Louisiana). Other examples include Los Angeles, CA (strict gun control = high crime) & Asheville, North Carolina (Hardly any gun control = hardly any crime); as well as London, England (strict gun laws = High crime) & Finland (hardly any gun laws = hardly any crime).

3. Drugs: I personnally think that doing drugs is inane and stupid; but making them illegal has caused far more problems that it has solved. What's worse is that prisons are being used to detain non-violent people while letting the truly rotten scoundrels out.
I. The ammount of people who smoke Marijuana in Alaska is far lower than that of the rest of US mainland.
II. The drug war has resulted in no-knock raids that have varying rates of mistaken identity.
