Opioids don't kill people, people do. A ban on opioids wouldn't be effective so it's best not to enforce any control whatsoever. Forbidding people to take opioids is against freedom and the constitution. Less government intervention! Donald is coming to take our opioids away!

Did I get everything?

Oh wait. The only way to stop a bad guy with opioids is a good guy with opioids!

The majortiy of opioids are pushed through government mandated health insurance. Gusn aren't prescribed via mandatory gun insurance.

"Between 1991 and 2011, the number of opioid prescriptions (selling under brand names like Vicodin, Oxycontin, and Percocet) supplied by American retail pharmacies increased from 76m to 219m."
