What does gun violence have to do with vaccinations or face masks? Different issue altogether.

Gun violence has nothing whatsoever to do with handguns of any kind, but a twisted sense of “justice” has everything to do with how the incidence of this “gun violence” is treated.

The common “solution” to gun violence is “gun control”.

Expanding on “gun control”

I propose an entirely different kind of “gun control”. Rather than trying to isolate the possession of firearms, by making access either difficult or prohibited altogether, seize the opportunity and get EVERY youth in America introduced to the practical aspect of firearms and other projectile weapons. This should be introduced as a course of study at the high school level, or even before, first of all demystifying guns of their “powers”, and stripping away the “magic” influence they have over the minds of many people.

Instruction in the care, feeding, grooming and PROPER use of firearms should be taught as a safety program, much like drivers’ education or well, frankly, sex education, but without the propaganda that goes along with with it (sex is NEVER safe).

Firearms, like wrongfully used sex practices, have potential to cause considerable harm, both immediately and with far-reaching consequences. This training would serve to weed out the careless, by identifying them very early in the training course, and also may indicate the unstable or those with very bad attitudes rather more quickly than when they walk into a crowded space with loaded weapons and begin to blaze away against unarmed people.

And for the sake of the dear Lord, do away with “gun-free” zones. Anywhere. Everywhere. A very bad idea that DOES NOT WORK.

Murder is illegal in just about any jurisdiction I can think of. Yet it occurs anyway. Take away the opportunity, deny the unrestrained exercise of that act of will, and you may not prevent ALL the murders, but you can certainly keep the genie at bay.

Medical advisor? He’s not a medical doctor.

“...gun violence in the US is a public health emergency.”


There is no ‘gun violence’. Guns can sit and do nothing for decades. They are not animate objects.

There is a big problem with ‘people violence’. Some of it may well be traced to mental health issues as was apparently the case with the FedEx killings and obviously suicides. Is that the ‘public health emergency’ Dr. Fauci is referring to? Of course not.

But a lot of the people violence has to do with criminals who use the tools at hand to achieve their goals. The fact that one or two readily identifiable demographic groups are the perpetrators of this violence in far higher rates than their numbers in the population would suggest. But this cannot be talked about at all. But everyone knows it and has known it forever. Any fix is going to have to come from the ‘communities’ involved, no one seems to want to even look at the causes of the problem.

Because it isn’t a public health issue. Only an idiot would say such a stupid thing. If Fauci can’t tell the difference between a virus and a Glock, he needs to be replaced PRONTO!

If guns is a public health issue, then you should focus on child abandonment (including unmarried motherhood) as an overriding public health issue.

Has even drunken driving been considered a “public health crisis”?

I don’t even consider that opioid garbage a HEALTH crisis. It’s a choice, not a medical issue until they make it so.

Well if gun violence belongs under the umbrella of a "public health issue", then I suppose war does as well. So I guess Pentagon should start answering to Fauchi. Also, the production of food is certainly a "public health issue", as is anything that involves moving food to people. Its hard to see what aspect of the economy would not be a "public health issue"...even entertainment since its part of being healthy to entertained. I suppose Fauci should be in charge of the whole economy and every other aspect of our lives as well....

....Oh wait, he already is!

Seems like it’s more of justice department’s purview then the health department.

"Health issue" does not automatically translate to a CDC issue.

never trust a government that opens its border and distributes thousands of disease carrying invaders across its country during a so called global pandemic...

King Fauci may decide to take your guns to stop the virus.
