I've seen that shit destroy people's lives. I am actually glad that a company is taking the initiative to try and protect people from what they sell. These questions seem like something we should be praising, not attacking.
The truth is that I had to fire someone a few months ago because of his addiction to his pain medication. He had only worked a couple weeks for us and was doing well. Then he had to take time off to see his doctor and fill his prescription. I fired him 3 days later. He was not in any shape to be doing work that is possibly dangerous (as some of ours is) and I could never dream of letting him drive one of the company vehicles while he was like that. He may as well have been on heroine, as my former brother in law was, as well as a friend's father (note, they are both dead now).
I wish gun stores were as responsible about who they sell weapons and bullets to.

As for the tax dodge, we need to change the laws. Tax the bastards!
