Ronald Reagan famously said, One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. He believed that government programs ostensibly meant to address public health crises would inevitably chip away at our personal liberties. For evidence that Reagan was right, one need look no further than Obamacares mandate requiring all Americans to buy government-approved insurance. The pretext for that travesty involved the alleged menace to public health posed by the uninsured. This years Democrat Party Platform has identified another public health threat against which the government must take action gun violence.
Under the heading, Ensure the Health and Safety of All Americans, the following sentence appears: There is insufficient research on effective gun prevention policies, which is why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] must have the resources it needs to study gun violence as a public health issue. This attempt to pitch gun control as a public health crisis is not new, of course. Two years ago, the Democrats introduced a bill that would have provided the CDC with $10 million a year to study gun crime from the public health perspective. And, in June of this year, the American Medical Association declared that gun violence is a public health crisis.

criminals guns are a public health threat.
law abiding citizens guns are not.
Obamcare CMS chief Slavitt:
We’ll go as fast as the @#$%& allows us to go
Yes, that will get quite expensive, PDQ.
Only the latest line of anti-firearms BS.
There are countless others, and all of them baloney.
I am so not in the mood for this garbage.
I want Trump to win, but I am actually starting to see the possibility of an upside if he doesn’t. Civil War.
The Democrat party has become an organization of America’s most dangerous enemies, and they have successfully indoctrinated millions of people here and around the world to look upon America as responsible for most of the world’s problems.
It’s not just DUMBOCARE, but Medicare, new doctor registration forms are now required, and an oft asked question is do you have guns in your home. BEWARE of Pediatricians as they ask kids that question, if you are dumb enough to let your kid go back in alone. You also set them up to be sexually abused by a not out of the closet pederast doctor.
KISS MY GRITS that question doesn’t get answered. Nor do PSTD type questions. Try to use that Valium I have to take for Fibromyalgia pain against me, and you will have a big fight, it’s for muscle pain, and has been in my records for a decade as such.
And if you happen to be found with a firearm or use one in self defense the IRS will be glad to hammer you on your taxes for lying and your premium subsidies.
If I should have need to use a firearm, then I will simply consider the fallout as the price needing to be paid, though I do not see how the IRS can assert some sort of income issue through possession of a firearm.
Has the CDC studied the health effects of hammers? Hammers kill more people than so called “assault weapons,” each year.
Has the CDC become totally politicized? Methinks yes.

I happen to agree, better to be tried by a bureaucrat than planted by criminal scum due to liberal insanity.
