Once again, the United States government is manufacturing a crisis.
Don’t even get me started on the debacle that was COVID, or the quickly dead Monkey Pox terror, because I just might blow my non-mask wearing, standing within 6 feet of you, coughing and sneezing in public stack!
This time the Surgeon General of the United States, a man that I quickly forget the moment I see him, Dr. Vivek Murthy, is now using his position to advocate for policy changes in the use and possession of firearms in the name of “public health safety”.
I’m sorry, I didn’t know that gunshot wounds were contagious – my mistake, doctor.
In an AP article, Dr. Murthy is quoted as saying:
“’People want to be able to walk through their neighborhoods and be safe,’ Murthy told The Associated Press in a phone interview. ‘America should be a place where all of us can go to school, go to work, go to the supermarket, go to our house of worship, without having to worry that that’s going to put our life at risk.’”
So, obviously he is talking about a disease of some kind and that you want to walk around not worried that you will catch said contagion and cough yourself into pure oblivion – right?
Wrong.
Murthy called for a ban on “assault rifles” to drive down gun deaths – of which the total, AP noted, was 47,000 (this is all gun related deaths) in 2021, meanwhile heart disease killed 375, 476 people in that same year – but let’s not talk about that because, ya-know, thin the herd.
In their article, the AP linked to another AP article that linked to a study released in 2022 by Chris A. Rees, MD, MPH; Michael C. Monuteaux, ScD; Isabella Steidley called Trends and Disparities in Firearm Fatalities in the United States, 1990-2021.
This study’s objective is “to understand variations in rates of firearm fatalities stratified by intent, demographics, and geography in the US.” The study takes all firearm related fatalities to do these measurements before coming to conclusions – needless to say it’s a behemoth.
However, this study seems to me to be intended as a set up for a certain kind of narrative since the conclusion states “these findings suggest that public health approaches to reduce firearm violence should consider underlying demographic and geographic trends and differences by intent.”
Now, I’m no scientist – because I know what a woman is – but it seems to me that the American public is being gaslit into thinking that somehow firearms fatalities are the number one leading cause of death in the United States and also that you can take a pill to get rid of them.
Might I ask, why? Why are we using the office of the surgeon general to push for gun control? Could it be because an unarmed populace is an easily controlled populace?
You can take it out of my cold, dead hands.
