Drugs and Guns

“In the United States, if you are seriously depressed, you can purchase anti-depressive drugs like Prozac, but only if you have a prescription from a doctor.

But in the United States, in places like Virginia, a seriously depressed or deranged person can walk into a store and buy a semi-automatic handgun and a box of ammunition. All you need is two forms of identification.

You don’t need permission from a doctor or counselor or anyone in the business of screening people to make sure they’re fit to have a gun.”
