The line between agenda-driven advocacy and non-biased data-based analysis is blurring. The trend continues with a new announcement from Baltimore’s renowned research university. Johns Hopkins’ gun control research is already partisan. RELATED STORY: A Rasmussen Poll shows that Americans reject more gun control Johns Hopkins will research Gun Control and form an Anti-Gun Coalition. Johns Hopkins University announced a partnership agreement with the Center for Gun Violence Prevention. The two will form the gun control advocacy group Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. The university’s network of non-biased gun control research is complex. It is home to the Michael Bloomberg School of Public Health and Center for Gun Policy and Research. It is a tool gun control uses to limit the Second Amendment rights for law-abiding Americans. It does this under the cover of science and studies criminal gun misuse through the lens of “public Health.” Brand Dilution Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins is America’s first research university. It is also renowned for its cancer research. It is also responsible for the discovery of many vaccines and protocols, as well as the development of CPR and the supersonic Ramjet engine. However, this brand is already being diluted by partisan gun control groups. WJZ Baltimore reported that the Bloomberg School was named after Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire and a long-standing supporter of gun control. Bloomberg is also behind Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, as well as Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Bloomberg funds The Trace, a media outlet for gun control efforts. It has infiltrated USA Today’s newsrooms under the pretense of “collaborations.” Daniel Webster is the new Center for Gun Violence Solutions co-leader. Webster’s last comment – advocacy – is problematic given that many of the items listed (like firearms licensing and so called “ghost gun”) are matters of regulatory policy and laws established by Congress. Johns Hopkins gun control project is not a research institution if it is promoting advocacy. This makes them a special interest group. “Public Health” Ruse The partnership’s gun control mission is not the only problem. The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions is going to look at the problem from “a public health perspective.” This has serious implications for the American public if this biased advocacy leads to public policy that violates the Constitutional rights and rights of law-abiding Americans. “While we may all share the goal of a safer society,” Cam Edwards, Bearing Arms’ director, stated that the new merger between a private university and an anti-gun group will push for “solutions” that make us less secure by denying us our ability to protect us. National gun control groups and policymakers pushing restrictions use the scheme of combining criminal firearm misuse with “public health”. Paul Hsieh, a physician, illustrates the point. “Which one of these things is different from the other?” Measles; Influenza; Tuberculosis; Murder. You’re correct if you chose #4, “murder”. The first three are medical conditions. The first three are medical diseases. “Murder” is not one of them. However, it is a tragic cause for death. Tom Knighton, also of Bearing Arms makes a concise and appropriate response to gun control advocates who argue, as they often do. “Public health” issues can sometimes be more important than protecting “gun right” or any other rights. Knighton rebutted this flawed approach by writing: “When you try and say that gun violence is a health issue and somehow arguments over rights don’t matter, then you’ve crossed a boundary. “Rights always matter.” The bottom line is that there is no vaccine to prevent crime. Johns Hopkins University and Bloomberg-funded Center for Gun Violence Solutions are aware of these realities. They are also comfortable with the tarnish it adds to any research or solutions it promotes. Empowerment vs. “Crisis” During the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Bloomberg’s Moms Demand Action and Everytown hosted a series Veepstakes virtual towns hall meetings hosted by Shannon Watts. Watts repeated the same theme over and over that “gun violence” was not only a “public health” crisis but also a “women’s health crisis.” She claimed that more gun control was necessary to ensure the safety and health of women. In reality, more women are now exercising their Second Amendment rights to self-defense. They also purchased a firearm in those same months. Women account for 40% of all gun buyers in the past two years. Watts, Bloomberg’s gun control organizations and universities like Johns Hopkins would be pushing “gun violence” advocacy. This would put millions of gun-owning women in greater danger and make their lives more difficult. Johns Hopkins won’t be doing any research on this, however. Original story posted to NSSF.org.
