#TEDMED Disappointing responses from @Surgeon_General about gun safety - consistent dodges, “President is not beholden to special interests”, failure to state gun safety as a direct priority
Show this thread
Sorry you feel that way Josha I just tried to answer the questions honestly. You can’t promote gun safety without gun owners and you can’t engage gun owners with language that demonizes them. Is it a “dodge” to ask both sides to stop with the good vs evil rhetoric and just talk?

The honesty was felt and I agree with your points here. I’m asking for a direct statement of support and investment in gun safety and gun research in public health, in response to some questions posed directly about making this statement. Thanks for your response!

Just like tobacco safety laws involve not criticizing tobacco companies, or seat belt laws car companies? Some issues are public health related because they need the power of the government to get involved. Methinks if you were SG under A different POTUS, you might.

Gun (control) is a health issue not a political issue and Surgeon General should take charge of it!
