TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CUTS CDC ‘GUN VIOLENCE’ STAFF
The Second Amendment Foundation shares an update from The White House on cutting CDC staff, who have absolutely nothing to do regarding our Second Amendment! After all, what business does the Center for Disease Control have to do with our Constitutional right to bear arms???
One should ask the question “why” is the Centers for Disease Control involved IN ANY WAY with our Second Amendment rights? Surely it’s by “design” and globalist agenda against the American people to utterly destroy America! Secondly, we should address the issue of this made up term “gun violence”. A firearm is an inanimate object and therefore, incapable of any action on it’s own! Most reasonable thinkers understand this is nothing more than manipulation of repeating such a term to make it effective and enhance their cause.
However, if we applied the same principal to car violence, we’d have every automobile manufacturer throwing darts at those who say any car accident, is “car violence” and must stop! I say it’s past time to stand up against this RHETORIC and shout our a BIG THANK YOU to SAF!
Here’s their post and update:
“BELLEVUE, Wash. — April 7, 2025 — While the gun prohibition lobby is lamenting reported reductions in staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Second Amendment Foundation is applauding the Trump administration cuts, which will hopefully take the CDC out of the gun control arena, at least for the foreseeable future.
“With these reductions,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “the government is no longer treating gun ownership as a communicable disease.”
The staff reductions, announced by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have caused tremors within the gun control community. Critics are complaining the cuts will undermine the federal government’s ability to combat so-called “gun violence” research.
“Ever since the CDC inserted itself into the gun rights debate,” Gottlieb observed, “the agency has spent millions of dollars to promote the notion that gun-related violence is a public health issue, and they’ve mostly gotten away with it, thanks largely to their allies in the media treating everything they say as gospel. But it’s not a ‘health crisis,’ it’s a crime problem, and the antidote is not restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners, which CDC research invariably seems to suggest, but instead restricting the freedom of violent repeat offenders.
“One complaint we’ve heard is that these cuts have ‘decimated’ staff responsible for so-called ‘gun violence research and prevention,’ but so far all of this research does not appear to have prevented a single violent crime,” he stated. “Instead, we see declarations that more research is needed, while anti-gunners use CDC data to erode Second Amendment rights. That sounds like a perpetual ‘make work’ effort to keep the public funding flowing while gun owners are essentially treated like plague carriers, or lepers.”
