Images of the Antis: Public Health

Not the most truthful spot. First Dr. Murthy isn’t a “widely respected health expert”, he’s a fairly new doctor, with not a ton of experience. This is in no way besmirches him as a physician, but he’s hardly some of the doctors I know who have been working as physicians and medical researchers since before Dr. Murthy was born. Further for the short time Dr. Murthy has been a doctor he’s spent a good deal of that campaigning for President Obama and Obamacare. Further he has some pretty radical views of violence in America.

As for the “Obvious Fact” I’ll get to that in a bit.

Nope a surgeon general doesn’t need the NRA’s approval, and in fact the NRA’s concern about this physician is just one of the many faults he has. Really he’s just another Harriet Meyers a political flack taking an appointment as a reward as a good retainer. Sorry, American politics don’t work like that, and likely Dr. Murthey will never be surgeon general.

So on that “Obvious Fact” from Moms Demand Action:

No Public Heath issue? There isn’t! America continues to be safer and safer every year, and that is with more relaxed gun laws, more private ownership of firearms, and more people licensed to carry.

Again we can argue that guns don’t make us safer, I would point that it really looks like they do, but there is nothing concrete conclusive for me to say “The Science is Settled”. What I can say with full confidence is that guns do NOT pose a public health risk.

As for “Lobbyists paid to be wrong”….was that meant to be ironic?

    Ironic? Must’a been. They would know about lobbyists being paid to be wrong, as they are a wholly owned subsidiary of Bloomberg, Inc.

    So… where’s the cries to “close the sidewalk loophole” for cigaretee sales?
    Or put in waiting periods before getting a pack fo smokes?

    Course, if you wrongfully (by attack or negligence) hurt someone with a gun, that’s a crime.

    Funny how the “public health issue” is being used as a way to pass bans based on the idea of collective guilt.

    It’s also purely coincidental that the same puritans who hate recreational drugs also hate firearms. Can’t have the proles have independence or fun.

    I’m on the only one who gets tired of explaining to Antis how our system of government works.

    The Surgeon General does not need the NRA’s approval

    Correct but the surgeon does need the approval of the Congress — who work for the people.
    So if “gun control” was truly the will of the people……….shouldn’t this vote be overwhelmingly for approval?

    Oh…does that mean “NRA” types out number the antis?

    Everytime I am forcefully introduced to the next gov’t super-hero saviour, I picture Johnny Brennan sending a prank call.

    This putz is no different, and I wouldn’t let him lance a boil on my butt.
