Are We Getting the Most Return on Public Policy Dollars?

Abbott: We could almost get tremendous gains if we would eliminate the drug war. And to go back to your point about gun suicides, which represent about two thirds of all deaths caused by guns. I think that toa a high degree of certainty, lives would be saved if at least some people didn't have easy access to a firearm when they're contemplating suicide. But that's not a complete solution by any stretch and it seems to me that we should be looking for for, in a sense, the kind of the low hanging policy fruit here.
