Great news!

Is this this guy who people hate because he thinks gun-shot wounds are unhealthy?

Yes.

[Lief 🗽]

Wonderful news! I hope he gives the NRA a good thrashing.

Three Democrats crossed Party Lines to vote against him - Heitkamp, Donnelly, and Manchin. One Republican did the same to vote for him - Mark Kirk.

You get what everyone else gets: you get a lifetime

The NRA/Republican opposition to this was completely ludicrous. It would be like blocking a Secretary of Defense nominee because of their position on abortion. Who f'ing cares about their views on something that is completely irrelevant to the job?

The point of controversy regarding guns was that the nominee did not believe that it was irrelevant to his job.

Referring to gun violence as a health issue is not controversial / arguable, or is there more to this that I hadn't seen?

I think it was that he referred to "guns" rather than "gun violence" as being a health problem.

 As I understand it, this guy wants to train everyone the proper use of and tactical defense, and, now that the complete funding of Obamacare has occurred, anyone not owning a gun will be provided a gun – at first, the choice of gun will be limited. The pro-choice crowd is said to be upset that it will still be unlawful to use their Obama gun to kill their own baby, insisting the  $ saving’s would be substantial for the Obamacare system.

It was a tweet, though, wasn't it?

Genuine curiosity, old friend - What power does the SG actually have over anything?

Why "reverse"? Ageism is always perpetrated by olds against youngs.

Genuine curiosity, old friend - What power does the SG actually have over anything?

Hahah, who knows. I think he just gives speeches about how to be healthy?

Right.........so if Doogie Howser can give a good speech, I'm all for it. 

[The_Doctor]

Minor appointment. He's there for two years and will merely be making speeches nonstop with no actual power.

I thought the free Obama guns were only for ex-convicts and people on poverty assistance?

Matter, a gift, condensed to human form for a limited amount time, understanding what is possible.
