They call it a public health problem, whether they know it or not, because then it falls under the “police powers” of the state or locality, whereby if there’s “legitimate state interest” in doing something your rights be damned. Police powers are broadly defined, unlike federal poses, and just what constitutes an infringement of rights is sorta up in the air, especially when we’ve lost in American civilization whatever ideological consensus we used to have, it any.
There are various longstanding duties of government, like health, safety, preventing monopoly, etc. If you don’t want the right to keep and bear arms to bring your municipality down invoke the shibboleth of “public health.” All that can stand against it is if a black person somewhere in the world (who counts, unlike, say, Clarence Thomas) doesn’t like it.
