    How many people do you know who have been prescribed pills for depression?

    If I lived under the control of Sturgeon, I would be very depressed.

    18 Thousand so far but they wont know the final total until 2021 when the current owners that are holding them and using them are up for renewal of their FAC or SGC . you can possess and use them on your FAC or SGC but you cant buy component parts or moderators unless you have a license . If you want to buy parts or a moderator before your renewal ,you need to apply for a license (or ask a friend that has one to buy them for you no traceability)

    From here http://airweapon.scot/faqs/

    "If I already have a firearm or shotgun certificate?
    If you are aged 14 or over and held a valid firearm and/or shotgun certificate on the 31st of December 2016, you won’t need to apply for a separate air weapon certificate until your existing licence expires.

    When you renew your existing certificate you can apply for a new air weapon certificate at the same time, and you can ask to have them aligned so that they will all expire on the same date. If you are aligning your certificates in this way you will pay a reduced fee of £5.00 for the air weapon certificate.

    If you want to buy or otherwise acquire a new air weapon before your current certificate expires you will need to apply for an air weapon certificate. This means that you can show the firearms dealer that you are authorised to purchase an air weapon."

    just because the Scottish government said there was an estimated 500,000 in Scotland does not mean that possibly 400,000 Thousand are unlicensed


    Lots of people get pills for depression. my wife is on them due to her illness ( depression pills can work as pain killers in some cases https://www.mayoclinic.org/pain-medi...s/art-20045647 ) but she now has been diagnosed with depression .

    My mate got anti depressants due to stress because of his job.

    Report from sep 2017

    New statistics have revealed 6.4 million items were handed out last year, the equivalent of 17,500 a day.

    That compares to 6.1 million the previous year, and 5.8 million in 2014/15.

    They can be given for numerous reasons .Some below


    1. Anxiety
    2. Insomnia
    3. Pain
    4. Panic disorders
    5. Fibromyalgia .The main reason my wife was prescribed them until diagnosed with depression due to her condition and having to be medically retired from her job.
    6. Migraine
    7. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
    8. Menopause symptoms
