You guys are great to have discussions with. From the responses to my drug/gun analogy above, it seems that there is not a single serious point being made that is not the same for controlling drugs as for controlling guns. I want the doctor who prescribes drugs to be a trained professional and to give them out when they are needed. (In fact the paranoia about overprescribing is so great that many doctors I know will not even prescribe them when they are needed. My wife is right this minute in severe pain because her orthopedist puts his zone of comfort above his Hippocratic Oath.) I want the doctors to take the responsibility and use drugs with appropriate care. I want the same for people who have access to guns. Any real holes in this argument?
