Trump Apparently Shutters WH Gun Violence Office
Via press release from the Brady Campaign:
Brady, the nation’s oldest gun violence prevention organization, responded today to President Trump’s apparent shuttering of the landmark White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
The office – which opened in September 2023 under the leadership of President Biden – was responsible for managing a first-ever coordinated federal response to mass shootings and community violence, implementing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, and developing a whole-of-government approach to protect Americans from gun violence.
While gun violence in the U.S. surged under President Trump’s first term, the creation of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention led a cross-agency public health approach to preventing gun violence.
This contributed to a significant drop in the proliferation of unserialized and untraceable ghost guns, the largest-ever decrease
