Democrats Warn: Your Gun Is a Public Health Threat

[TexasTransplant]

If you try to take mine, it might actually be terminal.

[Bogie]

Besides, my guns are only unhealthy to people with impure or delinquent thoughts.

[ctdonath2]

Scott Adams (Dilbert) observes:
Democrats are unlikely to talk Republicans out of gun ownership because it comes off as “Put down your gun so I can shoot you.”

[dware]

Your Gun Is a Public Health Threat

Only to liberal pissant gun grabbers!

[Kudsman]

Better warning.

Effing Democratics are a threat to your guns.

Actually, a threat to too many things IMO. Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness, Independence, Justice, Rule of Law, common sense, Truth, Sanctity of Marriage, true charity, Patriotism, History, Fiscal Discipline. A few I've forgotten I'm sure. The biggest overt threat they display, next to Muslims, is toward faith in my Savior, Lord Jesus Christ.

Turning it into a public health issue wanders down some interesting pathways. On the upside, the statistics clearly indicate that there is NO "epidemic" of anything. On the downside, jiggering those statistics to give the answer the prohibitionists want allows them to take advantage of some surprisingly harsh powers of government with regard to epidemic disease: quarantine, loss of privacy, confinement without due process, ability to be "searched" without a warrant, and a host of others that would be clearly unconstitutional under other than public health emergency standards, including limiting or prohibiting liability exposure to agencies charged with remediating the emergency. See HERE for more information on the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act

How far this sort of thing may be pursued in contravention of the Bill of Rights is a matter for the Supreme Court, which is why the notion of a Clinton administration with three or four SC nominations in hand is so alarming.

Okay, for further gun studies I suggest they look at Chicago, Detroit, DC, Philly, St. Louis, et al. Of course they won't because it doesn't fit into the narrative of "God, guns, and gays" for white ownership as the b*tch Pelosi claims.

As many before me, I would like to also thank Obambi for being the biggest gun salesman in the last decade. Thank you Hussein for the increase in sales, especially among women. If you totalitarians EVER think you will take our self-defense weapons and ammo away (forget hunting and target shooting), you are all living in your stupid unworkable utopian dream.

As for California, they can pass all the anti-2nd Amendment laws they like. I know for a fact that there thousands and thousands of original semi-auto rifles that still exist even after the stupid bullet-button requirement. In January 2017, the marxist legislature is making those also illegal.

Good luck with that Jerry Brown and your commie followers. They'll still be tucked away and you don't have the house to house resources to come looking. As for ammo, really? You idiots think that your silly laws will stop the importation from Arizona or Nevada? All you're doing is creating a black market. You got over such with marijuana, but can't see what's going to happen with guns/ammo from unintended consequences?

[Pollster1]

If guns are a medical issue, shouldn’t unlimited firearms and ammo be covered under Obamacare? Weapons in the right hands save a whole lot more lives than abortion and “sex change” surgery ever will.

Note: I don’t actually want FedGov involved in any way with my firearms pursuits, but I thought this was still a fun point.

I found it interesting on the questionnaire I was asked to complete for my annual Medicare physical. Two questions stood out:

1)are there guns in the home

2)are you now or have you ever been in the military

I refused to answer both questions on the grounds they had nothing to do with my medical issues

The other 'back door' questions to watch are the mental health questions: do you feel depressed, etc. In my opinion, these are back doors to putting a person on a mental health watch list for later action

[Twinkie]

Our guns are a public health threat ONLY to liberal pissant
gun grabbers, criminals and ISLAMIC JIHADIST MURDERERS!!!

(I sorta “plagiarized” the “liberal pissant gun grabbers”
reference from Freeper dware.)

[CodeToad]

So is getting shot trying to disarm Americans!!!

[Roman_War_Criminal]

We had to answer those questions as well.
Every time I take the kids to the Doc’s, I put on my rattiest sweater (preferably with holes), put my fedora hat on, get a starbucks in hand and waltz in to their office.

Guns in the home: Absolutely not! Why would we?
Military: Please! They don’t accept asthmatics

Your lack of a Gun Is a Public Health & safety Threat!

Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: ‘The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.”

My guns are only a threat to the Democrats who want to take them away.

[GreenHornet]

This is standard operating procedure for the left. When you fail to win public support for your agenda, change the name to something that sounds more acceptable. For years, they tried to push their “Global Warming” agenda. After some harsh winters where much of the country got tired of digging out from under all of the global warming that was falling each week, the left could see they lost credibility on this issue. Rather than give up, they simply changed the name to “Climate Change.” It’s the same principle here - the term “Gun Control” is not resonating with the majority of Americans, so now they’re trying to repackage their gun grabbing efforts as “Gun Safety” or a “Public Health” issue. You hear less and less Democrats talking about “Gun Control” these days, using the term “Gun Safety” instead. (After all, who could be opposed to “safety?”) Same agenda, new name.

Soon enough the question will be asked by your doctor and health insurance company do you own a gun if so coverage at higher rate or none at all. It’s a health issue after all.

[Fred Hayek]

I was bombarded with such questions at each doctor’s appointment in Minnestoopid. I quickly learned how to give acceptable liberal answers. Hey, if the Muzzies can engage in taqqiya, so could I. As a Texan, I was in enemy territory.

[Fred Hayek]

Will Rogers put it more succinctly. Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the same reason.

Sensible people will always tell them "no." If you try to extort me, do not expect me to feel honor bound to be truthful to you.
