In other words they allow people to kill themselves with controlled substances. Does this mean that someone wanting to kill themselves can get around federal gun laws, if a gun and not an injection is the method of choice.
You mean if they were somehow federally prohibited from owning a weapon? First, I disagree with that one too. But this is a case of doctors who have the legal ability to dispense medications doing it. The actions of doctors are governed by the state; and therefore it is a state matter. The feds tried unsuccessfully to use the drug laws to invade state sovereignty.
