Because it is clear that easy access to drugs with the knowledge of how to use them is forcing physicians to commit suicide
And when the pain is too much, doctors have easy access to prescription drugs and a precise knowledge of both how the body works and the amount of a drug needed for an overdose to stop breathing and halt the heart. "All physicians have access to neat, clean ways to commit suicide," said Dr. Robert Lehmberg, a Little Rock, Ark., surgeon who has battled depression and long considered suicide "an exit strategy if absolutely necessary."

First off, I say a 3 day waiting period to obtain prescription drugs is in order, as a cool off time to ensure the person isn't going to commit suicide with them. Also, we need stricter background checks on doctors to make sure they don't do these kinds of things. Third, we need to restrict the manufacturing of these so-called "assault pills" who's only purpose is to kill people quietly and painlessly. Death should hurt and be really, really messy apparently.
Because that's what the anti's tell us all the time - that even though most of the deaths from firearms are suicides, if it weren't for the gun, people wouldn't kill themselves. I guess the same logic can apply to medicine, then.
Of course, there's that small, small chance that people who have decided to take their lives wish to do so in the least painful way and the tool used, be it a firearm or pill-bottle, has no bearing on the decision itself, only the method, but that'd go against gun grabber logic wouldn't it?
