The Federal government is using a “health crisis” mantra to extend the Constitutional usurpations it achieved in the COVID War to other political targets.
Our recent article “GOVERNMENT: FREE SPEECH IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH” (21 Sep 2021) detailed the trend.
This past week, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky ratcheted up a “health crisis” war against Second Amendment rights.
According to a 29 September NPR article, the CDC is funding studies in order to establish a rationale for “swift interventions, as they have done to contain the coronavirus pandemic and other national health emergencies”:
“Among several other gun research projects, the CDC is now providing funding to 10 state health departments so they can start collecting data in near-real time on emergency room nonfatal firearm injuries. This will allow doctors and epidemiologists to potentially identify trends and craft swift interventions, as they have done to contain the coronavirus pandemic and other national health emergencies.”
Americans have witnessed a wholesale destruction of Constitutional rights under the cry of the COVID War’s “health emergencies.”
Freedoms of speech, assembly, religious practice and conscience, and privacy, are among the explicit rights that have been illegally preempted.
Americans standing up for those rights have been increasingly targeted and isolated by various measures and crackdowns.
Some have observed that one of the barriers so far dissuading even more draconian government abuses are the Second Amendment rights which have allowed Americans to possess firearms.
With its new funding to cull and manipulate data, having already framed gun ownership as a health crisis, the CDC is laying the groundwork for eroding another Constitutional right, without having to pass legislation or prevail in a court of law.
