    I believe Dr. Murthy has disqualified himself from being Surgeon Gen because of his intent to launch an attack on our right to own firearms.

        @SenRandPaul That is silly. The comments you objected to are actually the commonplace recommendations of medical+public health community.

        .@dschumann0 @ron_fournier @SenRandPaul 30,000 deaths/yr is legitimate public health problem. We can reduce that while respecting 2nd amend.

        @haroldpollack @ron_fournier @SenRandPaul the vast majority of those deaths are suicides. You've got half of doctors facilitating them.

        @SageCommander @SenRandPaul Gun control is historic fact. This myth of taking your guns away is advertising. The dead bodies are real.
