From the day he took office, Joe Biden has treated gun owners like social lepers. He considers us second-class citizens who should be ostracized as though we are spreading a plague.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Murthy reportedly complained to the Associated Press that America is unsafe. He implied people cannot \u201cgo to school, go to work, go to the supermarket, go to our house of worship, without having to worry that that\u2019s going to put our life at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-are-revolvers-a-liability\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/are-revolvers-a-liability\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ccrkba-gun-ownership-is-not-a-disease-its-a-protected-right\" title=\"CCRKBA: 'Gun Ownership Is Not A Disease, It's a Protected Right'\">Are Revolvers A Liability?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Murthy is simply Joe Biden\u2019s mouthpiece,\u201d Gottlieb continued. \u201cThe real crisis in America is the failed policies of the Biden administration. Instead of focusing on locking up felons and disarming criminal gangs, he wants to disarm millions of honest gun owners whose only crime is that we exercise our right to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCertain government positions should always be trusted, by never being partisan,\u201d he added. \u201cThe U.S. Surgeon General is one of those positions. However, in the aftermath of Dr. Murthy\u2019s gun control tirade, it is clear the Biden administration has made every government agency overtly political.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDr. Murthy says firearms should be treated like other regulated consumer products such as cars or pesticides,\u201d Gottlieb observed. \u201cIn that, he fails even high school civics, because cars and pesticides are not specifically protected by the Bill of Rights, but firearms ownership is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-ccrkba\">About CCRKBA <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>With more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org) is one of the nation&#8217;s premier gun rights organizations.
