The Right To Bear Arms

[Curried Goats]

I'd rather the government enforce laws already on the books. They fail at that. Adding more paperwork they will ignore is a waste of everyone's time.

Obama and the FBI let the Parkland Highschool shooter out!!! They had him before the shootings!!!!!

If we drug tested people when they go to purchase a firearm wouldn't that help facilitate a prosecution of someone who lied on their application?

No because taking prescription drugs is not a bar to owning a firearm.

Depends on the levels of the drug in their system or even whether or not they are legally prescribed those pills. Just because there's prescription medication in their system doesn't necessarily mean it's their prescription. We should dot all the i's and cross all the t's.

Nope the premise does not wash. The Government has no compelling interest to know what prescriptions drugs its citizens are taking.

Nope the right to privacy applies.

Nope the right to privacy applies.

If it a right to privacy applies to legal drugs it applies to illegal drugs. What's the distinction you're trying to make there?

Nope illegal drugs are not a right dumb ass. But testing to exercise a right is not legal at all.
