We can start by improving the ability of researchers and the federal government to study and share information about guns,” according to the plan.

AKA "gun registration."

“Blumenauer’s “Enough is Enough” plan looks back to how the U.S. government addressed tobacco use and automobile safety in years past and calls for a similar approach to guns.”

Which amendments of the constitution can these be found in?

First show you’re REALLY concerned about public health. Let’s determine the health effects of abortion and homosexuality, how abortion is utterly barbaric in its treatment of millions of human beings each year, and how homosexuality results in tens of thousands of abbreviated lives each year because of HIV/AIDS and cancers that are unique to their deathstyle. No? I thought not.

They won’t look too deep in that because they will find that nearly half of all gun deaths are committed by 1-2% of the population.

I feel less stressed when carrying. I am polite, law abiding, and avoid situations my spidey sense warns me about whenever possible. I don't let idiots upset me because i have added responsibilities when carrying. I sleep better knowing i have the means and the training and the determination to defend myself and my family. Ergo my handgun makes me healthier.

don't think this is what this fascist libtard is talking about.

(rewritten for clarity)

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D- Ore.) has released a plan calling for “more research on the health effects of terrorist Muslims.”

Blumenauer’s “Enough Terrorist Muslims Already” plan looks back to how the U.S. government addressed tobacco use and automobile safety in years past and calls for a similar approach to terrorist Muslims.

“We can start by improving the ability of researchers and the federal government to study and share information about terrorist Muslims,” according to the plan.

Hey Bloomie! Where's your constitutional authority to meddle in this? Look through Article 1 ... show me where Congress is granted any authority regarding the "health effects of guns".

Let me see… I have a book here ….yes, here it is “Firearms and Violence. This was a parting shot by Bubba when he left office. This book which WE the PEOPLE payed for this research by the National Research Council of the National Academies was not talked about much cause they found NO evidence that any gun control laws would prevent gun violence except gun courts for minors. I repeat NONE did any good. They did say CCW might decrease violence.

Logic is not the forte or expertise of liberals. It is feeling, feigned compassion and an underlying need to control others’ lives. Anything against their goals is quashed, anything that can be in support of their doctrine is concocted.

Piss off a man that owns a gun & has nothing less to lose.

I see a serious flaw in that reasoning. Hee hee.

A BS excuse for trying to find a way to disarm citizens. The 2nd Amendment is NOT predicated on whether it is safe or is a health issue. However, it damn sure would be a “health issue” for a lot of people if they were disarmed and at the mercy of the tyrants running our government.
