In Barack Obama’s 23 executive orders last week, one that is
extremely significant is the study he ordered the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) to begin regarding the causes of gun violence and how to
reduce it. Gun violence is not a disease. It is not a public health
issue, but with his Presidential memorandum, Obama has made it that,
which was nothing more than a sneaky assault on congressional authority
so that he can then take taxpayer money to fund his gun control
propaganda.
“While year after year, those who oppose even modest gun-safety
measures have threatened to defund scientific or medical research into
the causes of gun violence, I will direct the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) to go ahead and study the best ways to reduce it,” said
Mr. Obama.
The memo the President issued gives authority to the CDC to “sponsor” other entities for the study. The memo reads:
The Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary),
through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and other scientific agencies within the Department of Health and Human
Services, shall conduct or sponsor research into the
causes of gun violence and the ways to prevent it. The Secretary shall
begin by identifying the most pressing research questions with the
greatest potential public health impact, and by assessing existing
public health interventions being implemented across the Nation to
prevent gun violence.
This is nothing more than a way to put money in the pockets of
anti-gun groups that will promote the Obama agenda. It has nothing to do
with health, which is cited several times in the memo.
