Anti-Gunners’ New Bullpucky: Guns “Public Health Crisis”
When at first you don’t succeed, fabricate some bullpucky and see who buys it!
Right now, the Board of Health in King County, Washington is conducting a so-called “gun violence prevention summit” that doesn’t include a single representative from the firearms community. There is no input from firearms retailers, gun range operators or firearms instructors; not a single genuine gun safety expert. In fact, what is the Board of Health doing talking about the Second Amendment anyway?
“They couldn’t sell gun control as crime control,” said Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “Then they couldn’t sell gun control as gun safety. Now they’re trying to convince the public that gun ownership is a public health issue.
“But this isn’t about public health,” he added. “This is all about politics. They’ve repackaged their agenda, but it’s the same old snake oil in a different bottle, and their strategy is right out of the gun control playbook.”
SAF, which hosts Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership as one of its priority projects, said the public should be alarmed at this campaign to equate gun ownership to a communicable disease. The SAF/DRGO project is a counter to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and its Center for Gun Policy and Research. Billionaire anti-gun-rights former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has reportedly donated $2.9 billion to the university over the years.
“What will they do next,” Gottlieb wondered, “attack freedom of speech as a mental health problem if someone openly disagrees with their crusade for public disarmament?
“For the health community to suggest that gun ownership is a public health problem amounts to medical malpractice,” he observed. “And by the way, medical malpractice kills a lot more people than firearms.” Continued Gottlieb, “If there is a national crisis, trampling the rights of millions of healthy gun owners is not the cure. Demonizing guns and gun owners amounts to practicing voodoo during brain surgery. You’ll make a lot of noise and get plenty of attention, but the patient dies.”
The LEFT COAST, WA, OR & CA has truly become the LAND OF THE FRUITS AND NUTS! This scenario is what the DUMBOCRATS, and the LAMESTREAM MEDIA want for the whole country.
The only “Health” issue is the mental disorientation of the far left liberals.
Go Donald, MAGA!!!
They should make California, Oregon and Washington a separate Country! Then they can annex New York, New Jersey.
Next week , owning a firearm is racist.
I’m waiting for the day OSHA deems legal guns to be hazardous in the criminals workplace. Or the UN will find that gunpowder is the leading cause of global warming.
I’m from Washington State, and relocated to NC. Lived in Wa. for 65 years and couldn’t stand the politics and BS they put out. They are going to tax the miles you drive nest, and then the air you breath. Guns are not or has anything to do with public health. They will try anything.
Mental Health!?
Lets not forget that the Soviet Union used “psychiatrical hospitals” to imprison, and torture, political dissidents.
This sort of mental health abuse is still happening, this time to senior citizens in the UK……
Q: When will the 2nd Amendment prevail over the psychotic mentality?
A: After the armed revolt?
