WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is creating the first-ever federal office of gun violence prevention, according to two people familiar with the plans.

The office will coordinate efforts across the federal government and will offer help and guidance to states struggling with increasing gun violence, while taking the lead on implementation of the bipartisan gun legislation signed into law last year. Biden tentatively plans to announce the new effort with an event Friday at the White House, said the people, who had direct knowledge of the plans and who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The office fulfills a key demand of gun safety activists who banded together as a coalition to endorse Biden for president in 2024, and is an effort by the White House to keep the issue front-and-center as the president pushes for a ban on so-called “assault weapons” and urges Congress to act.

When it comes to guns, I wouldn't trust anything Biden wants to do. This is the same guy who wants to stop all federal funding for firearms training and activities in schools. He even included archery, of all things!

Shouldn't he put his OWN household in order first...

The man can't get hus sentences in order. He is not doing anything. The agenda is moving forward by those actual in control and it's not those that run for office.

Just more govt bureaucrats lining pockets with our tax dollars. We really need to get a handle on these idiots in charge soon…. As if we need another alphabet soup agency. What a joke!

The best socialist communist government our tax money can buy

You guys are for gun violence?
Hope none of your kids/grandkids get shot by some nutbar in school.

They could careless about gun violence, just look at the big cities that have been under democratic leadership the longest. It's a smoke screen towards taking people's ability to defend their rights and liberties and unless your naive you know that.

Sounds like another bloated and weaponized jackbooted government agency.

I think they approve of the violence as it helps them achieve their political ends, the disarmament of the American population. Or J6. Look at all the political hay they are trying to make with that day, which was not even close to the biggest riot in the US that year.

Never let a good crisis go to waste. It’s all about stripping your personal liberties and replacing them with a big bloated government to keep you just happy enough not to revolt while squeezing every last dime they can out of you in fees and taxes.

Joe Biden’s so called gun violence prevention program is nothing more than gun confiscation and this will put my grandkids in more jeopardy of getting shot. People need to think with reason and not off the cuff.

That's hard for morons.

Nomination for stupid post of the month right there.

If you read more about this, its to start registration and make all sales subject to checks.

LETS GO BRANDON, AND ALL THE SUPPORTERS!

An armed society is a polite society.

When schools learn this , and offer veterans work to keep their town schools safe, they will no longer be soft targets. And this stuff will stop.

What a beauty of an army , all trained and disciplined, are the vets who would love the honor, once again, to protect and serve the people and their children.

Nothing the Govt
does is any good

There is no such thing as gun violence. There is only violence. You don't need a gun to kill especially things as easy to get close to and soft as people.

The easy to control people with little reasoning abilities buy into the gun violence crap and are useful idiots. Knifes, hammer, club, vehicals all are a better tools to do more damage than a gun.


It's all about having a monopoly on force so the government can have complete control. When people can fight back it is not liked by those in power.

"Gun homicides are on the rise in the United States, with young Black and brown people experiencing the highest rates
Young Black Americans (ages 15 to 34) experience the highest rates of gun homicides across all demographics.2
Black Americans are 10 times more likely than white Americans to die by gun homicide.3
In 2020, 12,179 Black Americans were killed with guns, compared with 7,286 white Americans:4
While Black Americans made up 12.5 percent of the U.S. population that year, they were the victims in 61 percent of all gun homicides.5
Black Americans are three times more likely than white Americans to be fatally shot by police.6
60 percent of gun deaths among Hispanic and Latino people are gun homicides.7
Young Hispanic Americans (ages 15 to 29) represent 4 percent of the population yet are victims in 8 percent of all gun homicides.8
In 2015, half of all gun homicides took place in just 127 cities across the country:
Gun homicides are concentrated in a relatively small number of neighborhoods in these cities, which have historically been underresourced and racially segregated.9
Women of color are more likely than their white counterparts to be shot and killed with firearms
Black women are twice as likely as white women to be fatally shot by an intimate partner.10
American Indian and Alaska Native women are killed by intimate partners at a rate of 4.3 per 100,000, compared with 1.5 per 100,000 for white women.11
Guns are used in more than half of all homicides of women and are disproportionately used against Black women."
