Agree David. It seems to this old nurse that the @GOP is blatantly anti public health, or we would have good universal healthcare like other civilized nations. Also we would have publicly funded studies on gun violence/deaths.
The actions of the NRA prove to be remarkably similar to the actions of the Tobacco industry and they’re destined to the same fate. The question to ask is not are you pro-gun or anti-gun it’s are you pro-public health?

Note that our reps all have publicly funded health care while the public goes without.

The battle against Big Tobacco didn't feel nearly this partisan, though... unless I'm mistaken.

My grandfather died of lung cancer in 1970. My mom died of lung cancer in 1988. My sister died of lung cancer in 2014. My brother is headed there too. Yet we pay tax dollars to tobacco farmers. Add those killed by drunks, killers, and guns. Public health is not a priority is it?

I bet they are represented by same legal firms. That would be interesting to know.

Assuming that is true (I doubt it), you miss a key fact: There is no Constitutionally guaranteed right to smoke a cigarette. People don't use smokes to protect their children either.

-WHAT ARE WE DOING That's driving so many people, young AND old to so often take their lives or another person's life. There is an insanity driving us that is definitely NOT "pro-life" (new use of the word). I am sorry. 2/

Good question Michelle. It’s actually what we’re NOT doing: we’re not properly identifying and/or treating mental health issues. Still too much of a stigma and not enough funds/resources to deal with it.
