Gun violence has now been designated as a public health emergency. When one adds up the numbers of self-inflicted and all other gun-related deaths, this more than qualifies as a public health emergency.
Since violence in America knows no bounds, every one of us needs to think in terms of survival. The Second Amendment folks will stop at nothing short of putting a firearm in every single household in America.
This end goal will only ensure the death count will continue to grow to numbers we should be embarrassed to admit.
Right now, it’s legally impossible to take away a person’s guns if they are deemed not to be a threat.
A public health emergency has been declared, and it seems a growing majority of gun owners could not be happier that their voice has been heard and heeded.
