Same ol' shit, different person spouting it

Two of President-elect Joe Biden’s picks to lead the Department of Health and Human Services have likened gun control to a public health issue. 

Vivek Murthy, the 19th Surgeon General, in 2012 criticized the National Rifle Association (NRA) and tweeted that firearms are a “health care issue.” Murthy, who’s the co-chair of the former vice president’s coronavirus task force, has been included on a Bloomberg list of possible Biden HHS appointees.

  1. Here we go. When government takes over health care, everything will be a health care issue.

    Do you smoke?
    Do you have any guns in the house?
    Want to drive a gasoline powered car?
    That affects everybody's health...

    1. How early is it? I'm not so sure everyone still thinks it's too early... Just what I've heard.

  3. Damn straight it's a health issue - I maintain good mental health partly through regular trips to the range.

  4. There are just under 40,000 deaths per year in the US from firearms and just under 40,000 deaths per year in the US from auto accidents. I do not see anyone advocating that we ban automobiles. Note that there is a Constitutional mandate against infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms, but no such parallel provision applies to cars (or other forms of transportation). I wonder how popular Biden (and his HHS picks) would be if he sought to ban cars?

    1. Remove suicides and the actual number of gun deaths drops by over half. Remove legitimate self defense shots and the number drops a tad more. Remove hood rats whacking hood rats and barrio rats whacking barrio rats, and the number drops to an insignificant percentage of deaths.

      Now, one of the leading causes of death? The Health Care Profession.

  5. Health crisis! . Some people’s health will depend on leaving normal people alone.

  6. Fuck them.
    The reason not to budge on gun rights is that we started with "two weeks to flatten the curve" and now we don't have faces. Also, no life, school, sports, basic entertainment, workplace or choice.

  8. Thank you. So when I am threatened by BLM or by Antifa, threatening to hurt me, DHS is going to give me a gun?
    Awesome!

  9. Biden has already collected the money to turn America over to the Chi Coms in around 2027. Chi Coms want our minerals and farmland. They won't even have to take it because biden and harris will have removed all private property and all the guns by then.
