Interesting tidbit on Rx drugs and this dangerous behavior

[Ashton]

How would everyone here feel about expanding the "mental illness" and " illegal drug" clauses to include people prescribed psychotropic drugs, Accepting a prescription would include a home visit to remove any guns... with a 3-6 month waiting period after getting a "clean bill of health" Before they are returned?
I'm sure there would be objections that it would lead to stigma, and many not "getting the help they need"... (In many cases, these drugs a probably not "what they need" anyway)

While I think it may have an effect on these kinds of shootings, it could very easily be abused to violate someone's rights...

IMHO restricting firearms due to a prescription of a "psychotrophic" drug being issued is hilarious. One of the most commonly written psychotrophic drugs issued is Ambien for sleep aid. I don't think I honestly know of a household where someone be it a mom, dad, sister, brother, etc doesn't have someone with a script for ambien. Once they have a foothold there they'll move to the anti psychotics... Which already has a stigma associated with it. When in reality different drugs can serve different purposes. For example there are SEVERAL drugs that are meant at high doses to control multiple personality disorders, but at low doses can control things like anxiety and are issued often to control anxiety. We could also look at other drugs that are meant to control schritzophrenea in high doses but in VERY LOW doses only affect certain receptors so that drug became a great sleep aid. Don't even get me started on off label uses for drugs that have a stigma attached to them. Most drugs that were "developed" for something are actually used to treat something else. Cough VIAGRA originally developed for angina now marketed for boners and a lot of body builders use it for it's vascularity.

They would have EVERYONES firearms within a month.
