Should Gambling be Legal?
If we open it up for all
I have lived in Las Vegas and when I was there I saw less poverty than I( see now in San Diego. I think any city should be allowed to have gambling. I do have a problem with the Indian gaming laws. Why should they be the only ones to have gaming? The US should stop kiss the Indian's butt. We gave them welfare for years and now they are the only ones to profit from gaming in Calif. and many other states. Open it up for others to open casinos. Crime is already here. And Las Vegas doesn't anymore crime than any other large city of the same size. And by the way, The Mormon's own much of the land being used for gaming in Vegas.
