“gun violence is the next public health crisis”...

...and one reason to enact “gun confiscation” under the guise of “heath care”

That’s one reason the leftists are ignoring the gun violence - just to have a basis for the gun grab.

But I wouldn’t put it past them to try again.

Firearm deaths and automobile deaths were about the same for years. Only in the last two years of demands by the Democrats for the Police STAND DOWN has it jumped ahead of car wreck deaths.

Anyone going to give up driving?
