What was he trying to imply with that statement? That you use a gun to force a doctor to treat you? Or that you blow your brains out if you can't afford care
I'm guessing he means the gun is to deter people from physically harming him, or shoot the ones who aren't deterred. This in no way helps anyone whose health is threatened by any of the numerous more common threats to health, but that's not his problem.
It seems that it means that since you already have the right to protect yourself, you don't need the right to healthcare from injuries. Like "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
i though Ben Shapiro said that. the government is really determined to convince us they know CEO killer, but i never want to know. im happy someone did it
