Guns are public health Crisis

Post by Niner » Tue Jun 25, 2024 10:35 am

June 25 (UPI) -- Surgeon General Vivek Murthy on Tuesday declared firearm violence in the United States a public health crisis.

So what's the solution?
The advisory said the government can respond to the current gun violence crisis in several ways, including warning labels on firearms, reinstating a ban on assault weapons and stronger laws on safe gun storage.

He also called for stronger measures around mental healthcare and school-based services for gun violence victims.

"I want people to know this is a profound public health crisis but it is a solvable public health crisis," Murthy told USAToday. "As a nation, we are not powerless. We can do something about it."
OK. I'll put a label on my guns. That will be a big step forward in saving America from a gun crisis. However if someone could keep Biden from giving away billions in bombs and rockets to Ukraine and Israel I'd feel a lot better about the WWIII crisis.

Get a new Surgeon General, he also is quoted as calling for a ban on automatic rifles, which have been banned for years, except for special permits.
