On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Jose Díaz-Balart Reports,” House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force member Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) advocated for treating gun violence as an issue of public health and stated that doing so “makes all the sense in the world.”
Quigley stated, “Look, treating gun violence as a public health issue — you had earlier segments on that — makes all the sense in the world. Identify the risk factors, tests, procedures that might work to reduce the gun violence that’s taking place in this country. I go way out there. Because ultimately, no single issue is going to solve this. This is a cultural problem that goes well beyond just these efforts. But you have to try, and these efforts will make a difference. I suppose it’s impossible to talk about banning the manufacture and sale of assault weapons. But let’s just use common sense, if the Second Amendment people talk about is to defend your home, your business, yourself, do you really need a weapon designed for a theater of war? You’re not really defending your home with that, no one would. You’re not hunting deer with that, no sportsman would. You’re hunting people. And we’ve seen it all too often.”

public health issue, eh? Thats what the Govt used as justification (in other words - excuse) for the COVID lockdowns and mandatory vax. However, the Fed Govt does not have that power, read the damned Constitution, you f’n moron.
Here comes the BOOM. Under the guise of health emergency, constitutional rights were taken away with the full blessing from the courts
Plus the pre-emptive removal of trigger fingers.
And with that remark ladies and gentlemen the rodents have signaled that they are officially fresh out of lies and empty comments.
So defund the police ... no harsh punishment for violent felons and no cash bail for those arrested for violent crimes ... and then blame guns for committing murder and want to confiscate them .... how stupid are we?
Now you know why they wanna give the world health organization control of our sovereignty, to take our guns.
Whee this is fun, see anyone can do it.Just make up some ridiculous bombastic statements and race around spewing it to the Fake News.
Dear ass clowns in the Democrat party political class
Mass shooters all ready have long histories of mental health issues. Rather then rely on your failed 1960s anti Gun dogams, why aren't you doing something about fixing the broken mental health system your idiotic "mainstreaming" polices have created?
Rush Limbaugh was right in the 1990s when he said Democrats want this violence to continue because they want to exploit it for political advantage
“What about the gun violence committed against young black men by the police?”
Quigley: “We aren’t talking about that. Wait. Are we?”
“The same police you want to enforce the gun laws”
Quigley: “Stop. My head”
The precedent has been already been set that people will permanently give up freedom for public health.
especially female people ...
Is he proposing that we quarantine areas of high gun violence? Lock them down like the Chicoms do?
OK. Go for it!
We need to treat LIBERALISM as a mental health issue. It is more dangerous than Americans with guns..🤓
Sounds exactly the same as what OZ has stated publicly on multiple occasions…
But he’s MAGA…
You folks who believe that are beyond help….
How about Judges and Attorneys who work to let violent criminals go back on the streets - esepcially those who are career criminals.
