Vivek Murthy made declaration after weekend in which dozens of Americans were killed or wounded in mass shootings
The US surgeon general on Tuesday declaredgun violence a public health crisis, driven by the fast-growing number of injuries and deaths involving firearms in the country.
The advisory issued by Dr Vivek Murthy, the nation’s top doctor, came as the US grappled with another summer weekend marked by mass shootings that left dozens of people dead or wounded.
“People want to be able to walk through their neighborhoods and be safe,” Murthy told the Associated Press in a phone interview. “America should be a place where all of us can go to school, go to work, go to the supermarket, go to our house of worship, without having to worry that that’s going to put our life at risk.”
Thought i was at Nottheonion sub…
Guns save more lives than they cost.
Yeah just look around at similar countries with strict gun laws, people dying left and right! (Proof) Why won’t they just put a firearm in every abled bodied set of hands and stop this madness???
/S
Hahaha
Hey, only one kind of person would seek to disarm victims.
Don’t feed the troll, folks. Move along. Nothing to see here.
Thanks for adding to my blocklist.
Cringe, but I suppose living in a echo chamber is preferred by some. I just wish those who prefer to bury their heads in the sand wouldn’t attempt to also remove the rights of those who don’t.

I don’t intend to harm anyone, only to defend myself.
You only disarm someone innocent if you want to kill, Rob, rape, or subjugation them.
So which are you?
