Okay, so almost two mass shootings per day is the line at which a US official is willing to speak out against gun violence.
Good to know.
I would have said one mass shooting a week is really pushing it, but that’s why they’re the surgeon general.
Line in the sand: roughly two mass shootings everyday.
I read a headline yesterday that a toddler has been injured by firearms every day for the last two years in the US. But abortion is the problem. As an 80s kid, no disrespect, but guns are gay.
80s kid or not, sometimes we need to update the terms we use.
Didnt we already go down this path, and it was found that it was already covered by multiple other agencies, and the Surgeon General had no jurisdiction?
The Surgeon General doesn’t have jurisdiction to declare a public health crisis? Seems like exactly their jurisdiction. It’s not like they’re trying to pass or enforce any laws. Plus those other agencies are clearly derelict of duty, so I’m all for the any functional agencies doing whatever they can to force positive change on this troglodytic tire fire of a nation.
Not on crimes, no.
They didn’t say there’s a public health crisis “on crimes,” they said there’s a public health crisis of gun violence, which is obviously very accurate. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but when it comes to public health, guns can actually only have a negative impact. That’s how they’re designed.
So is inflation an epidemic too? How about climate change? It all affects health! We should let the SG pass any law he wants!
