Here we go again...
Sigh...
They finally did it. The Biden Administration has declared gun violence a public health crisis. The question many of us in the gun community are asking, why now, when the Biden administration has been touting (and taking credit for) the declining rates of violent crime across the country?
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy labeled gun violence as a public health crisis and called it "the leading cause of death among children and teenagers". This declaration is a blatant overreach and a direct threat to the Second Amendment. As a staunch defender of the right to bear arms, this advisory is deeply troubling for several reasons.

This has been an ongoing battle for literally years, with the dems, medical community, et al pushing their anti-gun agenda any way they could.
After yesterday's announcement by SCOTUS that effectively .gov CAN censor media at their whim, I think this could bode ill for the Second Amendment in the long term.
Once again, they did not let the truth get in the way of their lies, especially the death rates. I 'love' how their definition of 'children' keeps changing, from 0-17 to now with this one, 0-19, so they can bring in the gangbanger deaths to get the 'numbers' where they want it.
I pulled this graphic from HERE.
Of note, there is only one ethnicity where the firearm death rate actually exceeds the automotive death rate.
I get so tired of this, and am reminded of the old saws, 'The truth can't even get its pants on before the lies have been around the world twice...
And figures lie and liars figure...
Sigh...



If the “who” and “where” of gun violence was widely known, the SGs argument would get shutdown in a heartbeat. Ten second amendment is the only place in the bill of rights where the ones that obey the law are punished for the actions of criminals.
It can be really demoralizing to watch as our constitutional rights keep eroding day by day in America. We are truly living in the land of Idiocracy, and I can only shudder at what is to come. Hope can be hard to kindle sometimes.
