President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is gearing up to spend millions of taxpayer dollars fighting the “serious public health threat” posed by gun violence.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky referenced gun crime in various cities and said, “Something has to be done about this. Now is the time — it’s pedal to the metal time,” CNN reported.
“The scope of the problem is just bigger than we’re even hearing about, and when your heart wrenches every day you turn on the news, you’re only hearing the tip of the iceberg. We haven’t spent the time, energy and frankly the resources to understand this problem because it’s been so divided,” she added.
“I swore to the President and to this country that I would protect your health. This is clearly one of those moments, one of those issues that is harming America’s health,” Walensky said.
The CDC is spending $2,224,482 to track the number of patients entering hospitals with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
The agency is also spending $8,085,935 on research projects “to prevent gun violence and injuries,” CNN said.
Walensky said her push is not “about gun control,” even as she oversees an agency spending millions on tracking gun-related incidents and gun violence, Insider noted.

Anything can be classified a health threat to the commies.
Climate
Guns
Racism
Law enforcement
I submit that Democrats are the #1 health threat to the world. Closely followed by Republicans.
Hyperviolent urban minority criminal problem. There, corrected it.
The plan: take guns from the non-violent people and let violent criminals keep theirs.
the damned commies should be made to pay for all the krap they spend our tax money on
Walensky lies. Getting firearms classified as a public health issue is a backdoor route to declaring a public health emergency based on a firearms incident and using executive emergency powers to get around the requirements of legislation that are out of reach. This isn't even the first time it's been tried.
Gun violence is not a disease. Republicans in Congress can either finally stand up and push back against Executive Branch over-reach, or they can continue to be worms.
Get rid of Demonrats and 95% of the crime goes away
instantly.
..and 99% of the insanity
...and 100% of that horrible smell.

Ex New York Mayor Bloomberg said it best...Take guns away from the black males 15 to 26 and the crime rate goes down....
Second Draft
Thought... that is a threat. Never forget they discuss the possession of firearms as a “hate” crime. As opposed to a God Given Right as described in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.
obamaumao the First described the Bill of Rights as a “negative rights” listing-— as to say these are rights as GRANTED by the GOVERNMENT. Not that they are Rights which the Government may NOT infringe (RKBA) or impair or restrict. These are Rights delineated in the Constitution for the express purpose of LIMITING GOVERNMENT, not empowering them to obstruct.

I believe this technique was successfully tried in Germany about 80-90 years ago.
Give me just 1 million dollars.

Inner city blacks are violent retards.

Unconstitutional, but we gave up the CDC having any common
sense at least by last year.
Fascists will use any excuse to advance tyranny.
This is of course raciss’, but what are our crime stats if blacks and Hispanics are removed from the stats?
Why not start with the Taliban and the cartels?
Amazing how society is forced to tiptoe around this inconvenient little fact.
