The Center for Disease Control (CDC) considers gun homicides an important enough health issue that they keep tabs on those numbers.

Last year there were 11,078 such deaths. Many of us would definitely like a Surgeon General who is conscientious enough to not ignore those numbers nor treat them in a cavalier fashion.

President Obama should be applauded for his choice. Let's see how many senators are brave enough to stand up to the NRA bullying.

Simple solution to gun violence: Don't let liberal dumbohcraps own guns!
Would you like to see some of the number to back this up?

Have you looked at some of his beliefs?

It’s not just Gun Violence that Concerns the Nominee. Dr. Vivek Murthy Also Wants to Classify Scissors, Swimming Pools, Automobiles, and Shoes as a “Preventable Disease”.
◦Dr. Murthy is co-founder and president of Doctors for America, an organization that says its mission is to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, high quality health care.

“People don’t realize how deadly hands and feet are. So many preventable deaths result from violence caused by hands and feet. Especially feet wearing boots, or shoes.”

– Dr. Vivek Murthy

So when he says that your hands and feet need to be regulated, what will be your comment then?? He also says that more people die in hospitals.....duh! Here is the interview....

"At a recent conference in Washington D.C., The Butcher, punditfromanotherplanet‘s Editor-in-Chief , had an opportunity to interview Dr. Vivek Murthy. Here are the highlights of our exclusive interview:

The Butcher: Do you think your medical background and qualifications are what led the White House to tap you as nominee for Surgeon General? Or your close political ties with the White House, and record of advocacy of Barack Obama?

Dr. Murthy: (laughing) It’s definitely the latter.

The Butcher: Have you ever been the head of a major hospital?

Dr. Murthy: No, I haven’t.

The Butcher: Have you ever been the head of a department at a major hospital?

Dr. Murthy: Actually, no.

The Butcher: A small hospital? Or..okay, let’s move on to the next question. Have you had any influence on president Obama’s tobacco habit? Encouraged him to quit?

Dr. Murthy: He assures me that he no longer smokes. I believe he tells Mrs. Obama that, too.

The Butcher: Your nomination has stirred controversy among first amendment experts, and gun-rights advocates. Is it true that you advocate treating firearms as a disease?

Dr. Murthy: Yes, a preventable disease. I’m not the first to suggest this, though it’s only one of many things that pose a grave danger, and probably should be viewed as a disease. Automobiles, for example.

The Butcher: Automobiles?

Dr. Murthy: Yes! Did you know that in 2011, 89 people were k**led on the roadways of America, each day? Thousands of people each year die needlessly, because of cars. If I become Surgeon General, I will become a leading advocate for classifying automobiles a disease.

The Butcher: I’ve heard that you also view swimming pools as dangerous.

Dr. Murthy: Don’t get me started on swimming pools.



The Butcher: What about scissors?

Dr. Murthy: Yes, scissors, too. Very dangerous. Self-inflicted accidental scissor injuries are common. Deaths are less common, unless more than one individual is involved, and it’s a violent act, using scissors as a weapon.

The Butcher: What about other types of violent deaths? As a health care expert, I’d imagine you are interested in developing ways to prevent homicides. What about beatings? When one person beats another person to death?

Dr. Murthy: People don’t realize how deadly hands and feet are. So many preventable deaths result from violence caused by hands, and feet. Especially feet wearing boots, or shoes. If I become Surgeon General, I pledge to do everything in my power to prevent that. Classifying boots as a disease is one way to accomplish that. Hands, too. And bare feet, as well, not just feet wearing boots, or shoes.

The Butcher: Your most controversial position of all is your view that hospitals should be viewed as a deadly disease. Is that true?

Dr. Murthy: Oh, definitely. Hospitals k**l more people each year than all those other things combined. As Surgeon General, I’d classify them as a preventable disease, and take measures to limit access to hospitals, medical centers, and emergency rooms. Medical research facilities, and laboratories, institutions that aren’t involved in the treatment or care of patients, are an exception. Those I wouldn’t necessarily recommend classifying as a disease.

The Butcher: Are you sure president Obama is a successful non-smoker?

Dr. Murthy: No comment.

The Butcher: Thank you for your time, Dr. Murthy, and good luck with the nomination.

Dr. Murthy: You’re welcome."

Republicans should be thankful to have a surgeon general who cares about foot risks.......especially because so many of them suffer from foot-in-mouth disease.

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

Goes for both parties; democrat and republican...........but, I do see your attempt of humor.

The Dutchman

The guy is a complete whack job, just like the i***t that's nominating him and anyone that supports this idiocy.

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

Obama already threatened that if anyone stands in his way there will be hell to pay. I agree, he does come off as very odd! He would not be my first choice, but again look at his other nominations he has made.

Yeah, I'd like to see the numbers.

Firearm violence is a non-partisn thing. Most people who get shot accidentally are victims of boobs who haven't been trained in the proper use of a firearm.

Like the guy who left his loaded pistol under the couch where his six-year-old found it. Tragedy ensued. It wasn't noted whether the guy was a Democrat or Republic, a liberal or a conservative. Just a careless jerk who now has to live the the results o f his carelessness.

Most people who get shot on purpose are either victims of criminals or criminals themselves. Read the newspaper any day about someone shot by a criminal who didn't have a firearms permit or a criminal shot by a law abiding citizen with a permit who was defending his/her life.

Or you get the cases like Trevon Martin, who, regardless of the provocation by the clueless cop wannabe, decided to beat on an armed person. Not a good idea. Gotta be a Darwin Award in there somewhere.

Yeah, I'd love to see your numbers and the source of those numbers. You don't have to cut and paste, just give me the words to key in.

Whoever is the next surgeon general, I'd love to see them focus on sexual assault.

A solution? Give every woman a pistol-something like a .38 snub nose revolver, nice and simple and easy to care for-and teach them to protect themselves from sexual assault. Aim for center mass and pull the trigger. Or aim for the testicles.

And be very lenient on prosecution for unwarranted shootings of men who have a history of beating or otherwise abusing their wives/girlfriends. Kind of like England does with women who claim the PMS defense for murder of their husbands/boyfriends.

I'll bet the sexual assault rate would plummet. An outrageous and extreme proposal, no doubt. But it would work.

I just wish my wife would conceal carry. The taser is a good weapon, but doesn't have the guaranteed knock-down of a firearm.

That 11,078 number is highly suspect. I believe this number also includes suicides. How many people died in car accidents? You know there are more nut cases driving cars than owning guns. You seem to like this choice. Is it because he is anti gun?

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

This has to be a record for you and I, but I could not agree more. Accidental shooting, those people need to be thoroughly examined for mental problems. Part of having a weapon is proper use and handling not to be ignored is the need to store the weapon in a place where children or the very simple minded individual will not wind up hurting themselves or someone else. My husband always had guns, they were cleaned after use and at least every three months. We had two children, so the guns were kept in a locked gun cabinet with a quick release concealed on the top for quick access. Our children were trained in the use, maintenance and storage of these guns. We taught, then preached, then got on soap boxes about guns and they were not to be thought of as toys, but a thing that could k**l another person so never take out a gun unless you have to and then only if you are prepared to k**l something.

So for you, THUMBS UP!!!!

He should have nominated a proctologist, since so many Liberals suffer from Head-in-Ass disease.
