Surgeon General Declares Gun Violence a Public Health Crisis
25th June 2024
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is declaring firearm violence in the U.S. a public health crisis, not only for the tens of thousands who die from gun violence each year but also due to far-reaching trauma that impacts the wider population.
In his advisory, the first time a Surgeon General has declared a public health advisory on gun violence, Murthy highlights recent statistics on gun violence in the U.S. which show a consistent rise in deaths due to firearm-related injuries.
And of course the reason they’re doing this, pretending that guns are just wandering around shooting people by themselves, like thunderstorms, is because government employees aren’t willing to take steps against the root cause, which is People Behaving Badly, and want to use the excuse of ‘public health’ to put more restrictions on gun ownership.
The biggest step we could take to reduce ‘gun violence’ is to ban black males below the age of 30 from possessing firearms. But that will never happen, so we’re faced with all of this hand-waving and wheel-spinning.
