When the Courier Journal criticized Rand Paul for opposing Obama's pick for Surgeon General, I pointed out how the paper had missed the point. Well, maybe now they will get the point themselves.
The administration's choice to be the nation's doctor in chief views gun ownership as a public health issue and not a constitutional right, and wants doctors to query patients about guns in their homes.
[G]un-grabbing advocate Dr. Vivek Hallegere Murthy, [is] Obama's nominee to be U.S. Surgeon General.
Murthy is the 36-year-old president and co-founder of the anti-gun group Doctors for America, which advocates ObamaCare and gun control laws.
Doctors for America has also promoted the invasion of privacy by doctors by allowing them to ask patients if they have guns at home, including asking children if their parents own guns...
He would have doctors counsel their patients against exercising their Second Amendment rights.
One wonders how private that information might remain if entered into the medical records the government would be privy to under ObamaCare.
Murthy ignores the fact that mass shootings such as at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., occur in so-called gun-free zones where the only armed individual is the predator. [Investor's Business Daily]
Thank you Rand. Shame on you Courier-Journal.
