    Somehow strong drugs are banned in USA.
    The second amendment doesn't cover drugs.

    1) Another idea -- raise the gun prices 100 times via taxation.

    2) Buy back all guns at over $10,000 per firearm. That will leave most desperate people without guns.
    It will leave them defenseless against the criminals.

    Hopefully all people with mental problems and suicidal tendencies can be kept from guns. But now, 33,000 people are killing themselves or others each year in USA alone. That is a tragedy.

    And yet 64,000 people are dying each year from drug abuse. Maybe more.

    That's no defense. They investigate after the fact.

    As I have mentioned in the past, people with Mental Health problems must be given

    -- food
    -- shelter
    -- medical care

    by Society.

    Sadly USA sacrifices poor disabled people by tens of thousands each year, while millionaires spend hundreds of millions on luxury items.

    Why?

    It is a tragedy that anti-gunners use suicides to support their position.
