Pity the poor, anti-gun Democrat activists with bylines over at Michael Bloomberg’s The Trace. They’re busy trying to tell their few thousand readers that if Trump is elected, he will unwind Joe Biden’s gun control schemes… including the White House Ministry of Gun Control.
If I may suggest this to Trump’s inner circle: Don’t get rid of it. Instead change it’s focus to true gun control… as in marksmanship training for all who want it. This would include gangs. Better marksmanship means fewer unintended victims getting shot by gang-banging thugs.
From The Trace:
The 2024 presidential candidates couldn’t be further apart on gun policy.
They surely are masters of understatement.
The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention
Biden launched the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention last year to coordinate federal efforts for a more holistic approach to the issue. While the office doesn’t make gun laws, or even enforce them, it serves as a clearinghouse for the administration’s messaging and policymaking on gun violence.The office launched a resource center to help states implement red flag laws, which temporarily disarm people deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. It has also regularly met with survivors, supported communities affected by mass shootings, and helped carry out Biden’s executive orders (more on those below).
Before Biden even took office, gun reform advocates urged the office’s creation as a visible symbol of the federal government’s commitment to addressing the crisis. Now, they fully expect the office — currently overseen by Harris — to be shuttered as soon as Trump takes office.
“If Trump is reelected, there’s no more White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention,” said Adzi Vokhiwa, vice president of policy at the Community Justice Action Fund, a gun violence prevention group. “I think all of that goes away.”
Democrats on Capitol Hill, including Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Representative Maxwell Frost of Florida, introduced bills to make the office permanent, but the legislation stalled in a narrowly divided Senate and Republican-controlled House.
That likely means the office will be gone “on Day One” of a second Trump presidency, Murphy told The Trace. “The progress we’ve made has saved lives, but it has also given a lot of victims’ families the sense that their advocacy means something,” he said. “They’re going to be talking to a brick wall if Trump is in the White House, and to the extent anybody in the White House talks to them, it’ll just be for show.”
Remember folks, it’s not “gun violence.” It’s GANG VIOLENCE. Even Merrick Garland agrees.
try getting negro control
The “Ministry of Gun Control” should be renamed to “the ministry of Crime Control” and put Sheriff Arpaio (sp?) of Arizona in charge! Git ‘er done!! Bring back the “death penalty” for the most despicable of crimes.
