San Francisco Supervisors: Surge in Gun Sales Poses ‘Health Threat’
Breitbart ^ | 4-8-20 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/10/2020 6:16:10 AM PDT by dynachrome

A resolution–File No. 200349–before the supervisors begins: “Resolution urging county health officials from the six Bay Area counties, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara to evaluate the public health threat of panic buying weapons and to warn Americans of the danger of panic buying weapons.”

A summary of the resolution states, “Urging County Health Officials to Assess Public Health Impacts from Panic Buying Weapons.”

The text of the resolution is full of claims such as, “Multiple studies have concluded that where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths and more guns do not stop more crimes” and “More guns in homes during these precarious times compounds the risks of death and serious injury likely to further increase our hospital loads.” No links to the “multiple studies” or other means of substantiation of the claims are included in the body of resolution.

Ironically, the resolution also suggests that the panic buying of guns and ammunition is “NRA induced.” Yet here again, they offer no substantiation of the claim.

In the last 30 years, privately owned firearms in America are thought to have doubled. Meanwhile crime and murder rates have been cut in half.

More guns. Less Crime. Less Murder.

Fact.

Our Constitutional Right To Perfect Health enables the government to control all aspects of our lives. It’s in the penumbra.

Guns are always a “health threat “ to tyrants. The Framers intended it that way.

City Councils, Aldermen & Supervisors are, especially in blue areas, more mouth than brains. They will opine reflexively rather than thoughtfully, instinctively rather than considerately. This is a sample of such behavior!

I think politicians that pass laws restricting our freedoms during a crisis, panic and frenzy are far more destructive to society than my neighbor and his gun that he uses for self protection.

“Panic buying” is indeed a bad thing. A person might pay too much for a gun that he really wants instead of shopping around. This is similar to “impulse buying” which I KNOW has struck members of FR in the past.

Leftists and normal people are fast approaching the day we can no long coexist in the same country.

We need another Australia type continent to send them all to.

Indeed.

The very same “Supervisors” who allow and encourage people crapping all over the sidewalks and grocery stores? Seriously?

Progtard DildoCrats are a health threat.

Reopening bath houses, allowing homosexuals to donate blood, blocking the use of hydroxychloroquine, open borders, and emptying prisons.
