We have the right to take drugs too under the Constitution. But that doesn't mean that we can't have restrictons on use and sale of the stronger of those drugs. Having prescriptions, requiring the approval of a qualified professional, and strictly limiting the amount of drugs dispensed, is done all the time. Yet any restrictions on gun purchases is called un-american by some?

So this person can buy as many glock pistols as he wants, while he can't take as much valium or morphine as he wants. Can you see the problem? Here was a guy who had mental issues, who had been referred to a mental facility after women complained of him stalking them. Yet he could buy not one but two high power pistols, because conservative lawmakers in virginia refuse to put any kind of limits on who can buy them and how many they can buy, as they do prescription drugs? More people might be alive today if there had been a limit of one gun per citizen. He would not have been able to buy that second pistol. Or if there had been a waiting period long enough before any purchase was made so that there was time to thorougly check his medical and legal history.

Things you can do, and a doctor does, before dispensing strong narcotic drugs to patients. But things not done to young people buying guns. Its not right.
