Funnily enough, we have a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to own machines that are designed with the singular purpose of killing people. How could a “medical device second amendment” be worse?

- thfuran 3y agoThe second amendment doesn't guarantee an unrestricted right to sell guns and isn't even really interpreted as an absolute and unlimited ability to own then these days. Furthermore, the abusive ways to use guns to the detriment of others are inherently illegal and don't scale. If the right to sell medicine were absolute, thalidomide couldn't have been barred from the US market or subsequently pulled and probably would've been laced with nicotine or heroin to make sure people keep buying it. But maybe that wouldn't have been a problem because it would be lost in a sea of snake oil.
