The Next Front in the War on Guns

 Andrea Widburg has a post up today at the American Thinker entitled The White House is creating an office to curb gun violence. I urge gentle readers to read the entire article, from which I will quote shortly.

I want to make a few points first. One is that "gun violence" should not be seen as any different from just plain "violence." Whether a criminal beats someone to death, runs them over with a car, stabs them, or hits them with a rock, dead is dead. While guns make killing more efficient, the emphasis should be on not doing so by any means, a point Widburg also makes. The other point, which no one has so far pointed out, is that Biden's creation of a White House office is to get around the Dickey Amendment, which keeps the CDC out of doing anti-gun research. Violence is not a public health problem and treating it as such will not solve it.

So, Mr. Smarty Pants, if applying public health solutions to the problem won't solve it, what will? Glad you asked:

So, if this new White House office to reduce gun violence would like my suggestions, here goes:

- Stop having a revolving-door justice system that sees criminals instantly back on the streets.

- Enforce existing gun laws against actual criminals.

- Encourage fatherhood, which significantly decreases crime.

- Discourage abortion, especially in inner-city communities, because abortion tells young people that life has no value. If a mother doesn’t care about a baby’s life, why should anyone else care about the value of life?

- Encourage the Judeo-Christian faith, not as run through leftism, but as built around the anti-murder values of the Noahide laws and the Ten Commandments.

- Close the border through which violent criminals, especially cartels, are coming.

- Teach gun safety in schools and give children responsible outlets for handling guns. This was also common in America when gun crime was much less.

Dave Workman has more on this at Ammoland in a post entitled Biden to Launch Federal Office for "Gun Violence Prevention."

The Hill reports that the new White House office will have the formal name “Office of Gun Violence Prevention.” We have yet to see whether it actually prevents so-called “gun violence” or merely pushes more restrictive gun control schemes.

Gentle readers are encouraged to get ready for the next push in the war on guns.
