Live updates | American Medical Association weighs in (on SCOTUS CCW ruling)

The American Medical Association has called the ruling a “harmful and deeply disturbing decision.”

“Firearm violence is a public health crisis, and easier access to weapons and fewer restrictions on who can carry them — and where they can be carried — are dangerous steps in the wrong direction,” Dr. Jack Resneck, the AMA’s president, said in a written statement. “Overturning decades of reasonable firearm regulations will cost more lives.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom also called the ruling “dangerous” in a tweet, among other labels such as “shameful” and “a dark day in America.”

Greg Gutfeld: The left doesn’t care about crime!
OPINION Published June 22, 2022 12:02am EDT

So, finally, they’re talking about crime on MSNBC, although the only way for them to care is to prey on their political fears rather than focus on the growing mountain of victims who are mostly Black.

While Black men and boys ages 15 to 34 make up just 2% of the nation’s population. They were among 37% of gun homicides that year. That’s 20 times higher than White males of the same of the same age group.

So what do Dem say about that? Well, you know, it’s just gang on gang stuff. It’s like mafia violence. As long as you steered clear, you’re fine. But what about those in the crossfire? Kids, moms, shopkeepers, people leaving a bar, bouncers, cops. All lives ended by a stray bullet. Remember the old newscaster line? They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Well, now the wrong place is a park playground, and the wrong time is two in the afternoon on a Wednesday. And what about the Black males who could have had a different opportunity? What about their families who’ve lost a son, father or brother?

The progressive DA solution – decriminalize gun crime. Meaning if you’re caught with a gun we just confiscate it and then we turn you loose.

But I guess they want to focus on the real threats. Parents who ask school boards why there’s a drag queen twerking on the librarian’s desk.

So we live in two countries. And the left is cool with it. And we can’t talk about it because that’s racist. But if we can’t talk about it, we can’t solve it. So who’s stopping us?

Well, I’ll give you a tiny, tiny hint. Let’s start with teachers’ unions, the wardens of these prisons we call schools. We’re sentencing poor Blacks to a life of bad education, so it’s hard to blame them seeking other options. And it’s all brought to you by teachers’ unions who hate school choice because it’s competition. So now we’re told reading, math and history are racist, to be replaced with pronoun workshops and grievance studies.

You rob kids of the skills they need to succeed and in a few years, those kids will rob you. At least they’ll get a person’s pronoun correct during a carjacking. That’s progress.
