So message it as a public health issue without addressing the positive effects on crime with armed citizenry? NAH! Let’s just cherry pick our statistics. The idiot, drooling masses don’t need to know the truth.

The message hasn’t changed since 1968.
With regard to Obamacare, we are told “it’s law of the land... stop trying to repeal it”.
With Climate Change, we are told “it’s settled science”... stop denying it.
But, despite multiple Supreme Court rulings, multiple “laws of the land”, liberals never give up trying to eliminate firearm rights.
.....Which will all FAIL.
Make everything on the Liberal wish list a matter of "public health risk."
That way they can do anything they want and nobody can stop them because if you try you want to endanger the public health!

It's been tried for over a decade, and it hasn't worked yet!
Remember Joycelyn Elders' "safer bullets?"

The danger of gun confiscation is even a greater health risk.
And what does gun rights or gun safety have to do with getting our economy back and getting people employed, Danny Franklin?
DEAL WITH IT!!
“sayfer”
This idea is a retread.
Correct! The Bill of Rights are inalienable.
As usual with these liberal meme pieces the first sentence is wrong.
Advocates for gun violence prevention win the logical debate
Hasn’t this been tried before? When it was tried before wasn’t it shown that statistics were manipulated to present conclusions that did not stand up under scrutiny?
The only “risk” to health, is NOT carrying, or, challenging someone who is.
