To me, perscription meds are worse than any gun-related crime. Of course, pyschiatrists will refer a patient to a physician so they can make a few bucks and move up the latter! I don't have the exact statistics but the suicide rate shot up along with the further distribution of perscription meds.

They throw those things out like it's food, it's ridiculous!

As for guns--
It's easy to be for/against something from the comfort of your home. I can understand where some people are coming from in using a gun against another person, which is usually as a means of self-defense. But there are some morons out there who think the world and the creatures that exist in this world is/are their's to shoot up.

I think ammunition should be harder to purchase; a person trying to buy ammunition should have some sort of proof with them that says they've spent time using guns and understand that it's a tool that should only be utilized in certain situations.
