And legalizing RPGs and belt fed MGs will not stop gang violence.....and cars are legal, the gangs still steal them. As to human trafficking, im waiting for your response.

Stealing a car isn't a crime of possession. It's not illegal to have a car, just to have somebody else's car without their permission. Whereas drugs are illegal no matter how you obtained them. So you're argument that "cars are legal and people still steal them" doesn't really make sense.
Anyway, if you take away the massive profits from drugs, you're left with a whole host of other crimes. Though none of them are able to maintain the level of presence and influence that criminal organizations currently have. Nobody ever threatened national security with an auto theft ring, there just isn't enough money in it.
And human trafficking? Take all the money spent on the drug war and spend it on fighting that instead. You're still not going to need an entire battalion of mechanized infantry to do it.
