'Trump-Proofing' Gun Regulations: Using Public Health to Chip Away at the Second Amendment

[DougC]

Read more at Bearing Arms blog on first in several posts on this topic.

Under the Biden/Harris administration, the fight over gun rights in America has taken on a new angle: redefining gun violence as a public health crisis. This shift in strategy isn’t just about addressing crime or ensuring public safety; it’s about using the language and tools of public health to justify sweeping executive actions that could undermine our Second Amendment rights. For gun owners and pro-Second Amendment advocates, this is a critical moment that demands our attention and action.

Major bullet points are: (yes snark on purpose)

1. Funding and Framing Gun Research
2. Executive Orders and Regulatory Overreach
3. Public Messaging: Spinning Gun Control as Health and Safety
4. Expanding Bureaucratic Influence
5. Community Violence Intervention Programs: Trojan Horse for Gun Control

They’ve been doing this for years.

Yeah, so, cheating to forward a fundamentally flawed yet completely incompetent agenda that punishes law abiding citizens.

What else is new?

As early as 2015.
Elderly mom's meet&greet w/new MD in N. Idaho; he asked if she/we had guns in the house. Soon as I calmed down he explained he was now required to ask, per Obamacare.

Hmmm.....I get my health care through the VA and I don't remember ever being asked if I am a gun owner. If the question comes up, I'll just say no. Not going to get into even protesting that it's none of their business......has no impact on my healthcare.

It might be an ACA mandate to private health care providers, rather than military & VA. 'Just say no' is a good idea. 'Refused to answer' is likely flagged as a 'yes'.

I go to VA, too, and have never been asked.

I've never had a doctor ask about guns. And I take SWTSMBO to many doctor appointments.
