Dr Fauci has weighed in on gun control and says he believes it is a 'public health issue'.
'Myself, as a public health person, I think you can't run away from that,' Fauci said when asked about gun violence during an appearance on CNN with Dana Bash.
'When you see people getting killed, I mean, in this last month, it's just been horrifying what's happened. How can you say that's not a public health issue?'
He made the comments amid mounting pressure from the Biden administration and Democrats for sweeping gun control legislation.
It follows a series of mass shootings in the US over the past month.

Yep. Now that they know they can enact tyrannical rules under “public health” because we so eagerly bowed down for the china virus, our liberty will continue to be stripped away.
Many towns are making proclamations that racism is a health crisis. They will also use “ gun violence “ and “ climate change “. We can’t even imagine what they’re planning.

Someone PLEASE put a ball-gag on this little PIAPS-loving communist. Send him back to Chairman Xi where he belongs.
Partner, you ain't lying!!!
Fauci is nothing but an 80 year government worker and he is going like Biden with the Demnentia present since Fauce is very forgetful.
Biden already is very forgetful since he lost a lot of marbles up in his head when he had the operation for the Aneurisym and it happened before the election.

Doctors have killed more than either guns or wu-flu so lets get rid of all doctors.
And we know which doc should go first.

It is a public mental health problem, Tony. And if someone wants to break into our house to do us harm, they will probably regret it.

Of course he is. If there was ever any doubt, it just got removed with this Democrat talking point.
Bagster (and others) had him figured out, already. :)

No you fraud, a public health issue is when citizens are set up for genocide by a tyrannical government that takes their firearms.

No you fraud, a public health issue is when citizens are set up for genocide by a tyrannical government that takes their firearms. Moreover, the genocidal murders by such tyrannical governments have caused more deaths then all of the gun caused deaths by citizens in U.S. history.

To the Left, *everything* is a "public health issue", because "public health" is used to avoid Constitutional restraints.
"Public Health" exceptions to the Constitution were one of the first large successess of the "Progressives" in the early 20th century.

fake fauci’s idea of gun control is to put a cork in the end of the barrel to keep the bullet from emerging.

I’d tell Fauci to “stay in his own lane!” But since he drives like Stevie Wonder on Alzheimers, not sure what tree he’s about to wrap his ass around!

"Drugs are a bigger health crisis but they are already illegal.
Aside from suicides I’d wager the vast majority of gun crimes are drug related. Drug dealers enforcing turf, drug dealers fighting for turf, people who rob drug dealers, people who retaliate against drug dealers who were retaliating for being ‘dissed’, drug addicts shooting liquor store clerks for money to buy drugs... and then your general increase in robberies and burglaries and other thefts by drug addicts who want money to buy drugs... and then you have a number of these mass shooters who are on psychoactive drugs or combinations of drugs some of which are prescribed by their doctors. They seem to help a lot of people but at the same time some small percentage of them will snap. It says so right on their labels. It may be a very small percentage but give the drugs to millions and you get hundreds or thousands who snap. Meth, fentanyl, bath salts etc are making people crazy.
I’ve said it for many years now, we don’t have a gun problem. We have a drug problem. There are no good answers, but some way to take the profit out of drugs could be a start. I am not for legalization in fact I was one of the mere 30% who voted against retail marijuana legalization though mostly because I think it’s immoral for the state to profit on people’s self destruction."
Agreed!
