The difference is that the drugs were prescribed to you and are non-transferrable. Guns (most of them anyway) are under no such restriction.The difference here is licensed dealers v private sales. Licensed dealers are currently required to follow exsting law regardless where they sell. The 'flea market' example, above, is almost certainly a private sale, and is then under the exact same restrictions as if you were to sell a gun to your brother while standing in your house.I think we could restrict who can sell firearms. I can go into the flea market up the road from me tomorrow and purchase a used firearm with no background checks, or criminal checks. They'd ask for my ID, to prove age, and that's pretty much it. This is how criminals can get their hands on guns easier. (this is just in Florida, I don't know the laws for other states).
You are suggesting that you should not be able to so sell a gun to your brother?
I can buy prescription drugs with a prescription but I doubt I'm allowed to resell them legally to someone without a prescription,
is that wrong?
