Mom! Mom! Shuddap Mom! New copypasta dropped.
I’m going to take this as sarcasm. If it’s not, I’d recommend you see a doctor asap.
Okay? I think it’s been a fucking problem for a while but okay. Yay election years!!!

The headline for this story was corrected to reflect that the surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, had declared gun violence a public health crisis, rather than a public health emergency. The surgeon general does not have the power to declare a public health emergency.
OP might want to update the title of this post.
Done. Thanks for the info.
Guns don’t kill people. I do.
Guns are the tool used for people to kill people. It’s a lot harder to drive a screw in without a screwdriver.
… I kill people ch ch with guns.
Nail guns ftw
Knives and pipe bombs will replace the guns if need be.
Wealth inequality is the real problem that’s causing a spike in violence, not guns per se.
I highly doubt that a knife or pipe bomb could have killed 60 and wounded more than 400 from a Vegas hotel room. Guns are the most effective tool people use to kill other people and it’s designed for just that.
That being said, yes, economic inequality is absolutely an important cause of much crime and desperation in the US. But half of the population also won’t do anything about that, because less inequality is “socialism” or whatever. And round and round we go.

Trying to encompass guns under his field and jurisdiction of control is a pretty sleazy sidestep of intent of the position. It’s not really his job.
It is if we’re acknowledging the mental health component.
