Place for discussion from a Libertarian perspective, meaning less top-down control and more individual liberty. In general, the intent is discussion about issues and not a discussion on libertarianism itself or any of its branches.

Be sure to respect the instance rules, and please keep discussion civil and backed by high quality sources where possible.

Generally speaking, drugs are used by the purchaser on themselves. Outside of suicidal tendencies (which you've already addressed with mental health reform that I agree with - something that will naturally address both the drug abuse and gun violence problems to great extent), most weapons are typically used against others. They are NOT equivalent.
