Advocacy groups are urging President Joe Biden to bypass Congress by creating a White House office of gun violence as the confirmation of his nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives remains in jeopardy, Politico reported.
Four groups send Biden a letter on Wednesday and complained the president's actions on guns "fall significantly short of the promises you yourself made while running for the presidency," Politico reported Thursday.
The activists said weapons had not been a Biden priority as 28,000 Americans have died from gun violence this year.
"Your administration is hard at work pursuing important priorities from infrastructure reform to reducing the disastrous impacts of climate change," according to the letter obtained by Politico.
"But with rising gun deaths and the heightened threat of armed political extremism, gun violence can no longer be seen as a back burner issue."
With David Chipman's nomination to lead ATF languishing in the Senate, the groups asked Biden to establish a White House office led by a Cabinet-level aide, who would not need Senate confirmation.
