In yet another attempt to drag an unwilling America down into socialism, President Obama has nominated another radical nominee, this time for Surgeon General.
But Vivek Hallegere Murthy’s medical opinions aren’t the reason he’s such a controversial (and dubious) choice for the office.
It’s not that he is a champion of late-term abortions (though he probably is) or believes in fully government-subsidized sex reassignment surgeries (though he probably does).The problem with Murthy, rather, is his position on guns. Namely, he thinks one of the questions doctors should ask patients during a routine medical history is whether the person has any guns in his home.
Investors.com notes that Murthy, 36, is president and co-founder of Doctors for America, an anti-gun group that advocates making gun control a facet of the practice of medicine.
His group, which has been dubbed “Docs vs. Glocks,” has pushed Congress to ban “assault” weapons and “high-capacity” magazines.
He also wants to spend more tax dollars on more research to prove that fewer guns mean a lower crime rate, despite the fact that a number of reputable studies prove the opposite.
In a preliminary hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Sen. Lamar Alexander asked Murthy about his social media comments on firearms, such as a tweet before the 2012 presidential election that included the odd claim that “guns are a health care issue.”
Murthy has repeatedly take his views to Twitter, spouting comments such as, “NRA press conference disappointing but predictable — blame everything in the world except guns for the Newtown tragedy. #wakeup.”
Murthy is willing to ignore the fact that mass shootings such as the one at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., occur in so-called gun-free zones where predators are the only ones armed.
The idea that Murthy considers it the place of a doctor to counsel patience against exercising their Second Amendment rights and the fact he thinks it is acceptable to collect such obviously non-medical information to forward to the federal government via patient medical records is frightening and should disqualify him automatically. Naturally, that is also one of the main reasons Obama put him forward.

Wow he just keeps getting better!! Throw this POS out already before we have another revolution!! You have to be deaf and blind to not see what is coming!! Us gun owners will not just hand over our guns without A fight the big question is how many law enforcement are willing to die for these idiots in Washington? Let the politicians come try to take our guns they are the problem not the law abiding citizens!! Be prepared because you unconstitutional lying politicians will have blood on your hands because the gun owners will stand together and we will fight!!!!
This nomination is as bad as the last one that got voted down. Nobama has no brains but you would think he was smart enough to nominate a qualified and acceptable person, not another radical. Democrats are likely to vote against this one too. Nobama is really showing his ignorance, and value judgment, and even some of the smarter democrats can’t take it any longer.
Another clone
COME ON EVERYONE IMPEACH obama its time for this to end before people end up getting hurt
Yes I agree he probably is NOT a citizen. We need better back round checks on these people in our government. I am sure that he is not the only one.
its none of his buisness, just another $#%&!@*ing muslim that wont make it.
This nominee for surgeon General probably knows as much about as he does about astronomy. My guns are my property and therefore subject to the 2nd and 4th Amendments protections. Obama better climb off his high horse, pull his head out of his ass, and understand that any attempt to confiscate guns could very well spark a revolution in order to protect our constitutional rights from a man who believes and behaves like he is a king, not an elected official. I can’t wait for the next presidential election when he and his ilk are out of the business of $#%&!@*ing up everything they touch.
He’ll say owning guns could be harmful to your health…… And then they would ban them..
is being a dumbass a requirement for the obamma admin.?
Why don’t he worry about the Russians and leave us alone. O, that’s right the Russians don’t give a c**p what he thinks
