New Surgeon General

[Glenn E. Meyer]

If you look at the history of the gun violence term or meet the folks who push the gun as health problem agenda (I've had at conferences), they are gun banners. They have no use for the argument that law abiding citizens can own guns but we should work on the causes of violence. They simply think the solution is to eliminate private gun ownership except for the ducky-wucky shotgun (if at all).

They developed the term as their initial organizations (such as Ban all Handguns) wasn't working for them.

Never will they say there is a right to own firearms for home defense, self-defense or protection against tyranny. They do not acknowledge what most RKBA advocates see as gun rights.

Addressing gun violence as a health issue is not to seek to ‘ban’ guns –

I'll believe that when they start addressing "violence" as an issue, without the guns.
