Recently, NJ Gov. Christie approved the police to carry Narcane, which is the drug that pulls people out of heroin overdoses. His reason was there was no treatment for someone who has already died. However, he vetoed a bill to limit the capacity of gun magazines, claiming it was a slippery slope. Capacity rules must be in line with what the SCOTUS considers reasonable, which is an average of nine. The majority of mass-shooting killers have been taken out while reloading, so it seems like a contradiction in terms of risk assessment to me.

Maybe you should have done some research..


The rise of fatal overdoses over the last 15 years is startling. In 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 38,329 fatal drug overdoses in the United States, more than double the 16,849 fatal overdoses observed in 1999.

Overdosing is now the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, accounting for more deaths than traffic fatalities or gun homicides and suicides. Fatal overdoses from opiate medications such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and methadone have quadrupled since 1999, accounting for an estimated 16,651 deaths in 2010.

Abridging the rights of gun owners is a slippery slope.

Funny how this Thread is not about a Drug counteracting Heroin-Overdoses!
