... medical martial law ...

Going back to the Clinton days, you can find many liberals who have wanted to make firearms a medical issue.


If you like your handguns, you will be able to keep your handguns. Period.

If you like your rifles, you will be able to keep your rifles. Period.

No one will take them away. No matter what.

And to prove my point: an article posted today:

Gun Violence Significantly Increased by Social Interactions

The network in question consists of more than 3,700 high-risk individuals – young, African-American males from a poor neighborhood – who were clustered into a network by instances of co-offending, meaning each person in the group had been arrested with another person.

Papachristos says it makes sense to look at the spread of gun violence like the spread of a disease or an epidemic, comparing it to how people contract HIV. Much like the roles needle sharing and unprotected sex play in the spread of HIV, a person's behaviors and personal associations play a role in the spread of gun violence homicides, he says.

"It's the behavior of sharing needles that puts you at risk for contracting HIV, not simply being poor and black and living in a certain neighborhood," Papachristos says. "The same is true with violence. It's who you hang around with that gets you in trouble."
