Well, they already have the CDC enlisted in the purge. Why not every other agency?

I hope they do establish a campaign around public health and safety in regards to firearms.

Roughly 2.5 million times a year firearms are used defensively and justifiably to thwart violent attacks, rapes, and murders. As a public safety issue few things are more effective than private firearm ownership. Looking at it the other way, when private firearm ownership is restricted or banned, violent crime rates increase and remain high.

So yes, by all means, let's promote public safety in regards to private firearm ownership. But if they're going to be honest (I know, who am I kidding, this is the obama administration) they would have to promote private ownership, not try to dissuade people from owning firearms.

When guns in the hands of its citizens is outlawed the war will start and no more communists in America.

Under Obamacare you will likely be asked by your doctor if you have guns in your home and this information will be cross tabulated with your medical history. Been treated for depression...federal gun grabbers will be showing up at your door.

I work for the Center for Disease Control.

If the administration forces this fine organization to abandon science and start writing false propaganda, I will quit out of protest.

How about this as a counter proposal.

Every male attending college with either a Pell Grant or a student loan, will be REQUIRED to take a class with regards to their Selective Service obligations. Course will be optional for women and for males with disabilities. Veterans will be exempt from this requirement. Students who have not completed their course will have their paper delayed till all others have been approved. After two terms (semesters) in college without passing this course, then all grants and loans will be stopped until they are in compliance.

This class will be taught as a 3 hr college elective and the course material will be developed by the US Military. The course will cover the following topics:

- The history of military service in America
- The current selective service requirements and penalties
- How a call up will be conducted
- Basic first aid
- Military branches and their missions
- US Constitutions and the Bill of Rights
- Basic firearm safety
