<<The CDC wants to label gun ownership a Health Crisis. You'd'a thought they would restrict themselves to firearm injuries or deaths. To me, this seriously impugns the CDC's objectivity in the matter.>> How can you say this? If you study the comparative statistics of gun deaths in the 26 industrialized nations, for example, it is hard for me to believe that anyone who was truly objective could come to any conclusion other than that the proliferation of guns in America is indeed a health crisis. This is all really hard for me to understand. There is a very common perception abroad that America is a very violent nation awash in guns, and gone nuts with killing people. Inner city children have been dying here for at least a decade in gun violence, and now it has reached the upper middle class suburbs where all of us begin to take notice. It would seem very normal to me that everyone would suddenly realize that Americans possessing all these guns was absolutely nuts, and really hurting our society, and yet it is almost politically incorrect to even say anything about it. And yet that is the OBJECTIVE reality.
