Does anyone believe that it will not have gun control as its top agenda item?
In the leftist lexicon, preventing gun violence is code for “gun control.” That’s why we should all view with deep suspicion the report that the White House is creating an office that will focus on “preventing” gun violence. Since the White House’s policies all encourage gun violence, the only avenue left to the White House to “curb” this violence is to grab guns from law-abiding citizens.
If you read the article at The Hill, you see that, while it talks constantly about how the White House, congresscritters, and various groups dedicated to ending gun violence are excited about this office to end gun violence, the article is silent about anything concrete. It mentions failed initiatives to limit gun rights but says nothing else that might curb actual violence. Here are just a few excerpts that give you a sense of this thunderous silence:
The White House will announce this week that it is creating an office of gun violence prevention to focus on efforts to curb gun violence, two sources familiar confirmed to The Hill.
Gun violence prevention advocates and Democratic lawmakers have been pushing the White House to establish a designated office solely focused on gun violence.

If I were trying to end gun violence, I would not make it more difficult for law-abiding people to have guns. Instead, I would (a) make it more difficult for criminals to commit crimes and (b) create a culture of values and respect for life that is antithetical to violence—kind of like America was before the 1960s, a time when gun ownership was common but random gun violence significantly lower.

The increase in violence, including gun violence, pretty much matches the democRAT activity to destabilize society.
Another worthless, do-nothing department. You can’t “cure” gun violence. Reduce it by enforcing the law and putting bad guys in jail… or worse.
*checks my watch*
Hmmm...
It’s 2023.
Any gun control after the second and fourteenth amendments were ratified are illegal according to the Bruen decision last year.
Of course, this, “Office,” will consider that.
Right?

Said office and its employees should be housed on the South side of Chicago and begin \there\ with any proposals for preventing gun violence.
If it works there, then expand it incrementally to other urban locations.
Maybe an idea: I heard that if remove the BLM crew from the homicide stats that the USA is safer than Sweden.
I question the veracity in the statement.
the gun violence council will recommend the govt declare a public health emergency and ban guns a la grisham
you know cuz of the rising crime rate
that the LEFT has created
never let a crisis go to waste
What aboutt knife violence? How about SUV violence?
“Curb gun violence”
That’s racist.
The problem is:
It’s not OUR guns,
It’s YOUR sons.
I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID - “Said office and its employees should be housed on the South side of Chicago and begin \there\ with any proposals for preventing gun violence.
If it works there, then expand it incrementally to other urban locations.”
ONE ADDITION, the ONLY security this office will get is what is provided by Chicago PD. NO SPECIAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDED SECURITY.
Will the people tasked with reducing gun violence carry guns? Will they wear snappy uniforms with brightly colored armbands?
Putting Eric Holder in charge after his job of running guns to Mexican cartels?
Step 1: Round up all conservatives and put them in a re-education camp.
Step 2: Abolish the Bill of Rights.
Step 3: Criminalize meat, automobiles, and private homes.
...that is my biggest fear....”we need to take your guns for the good of society”....or some such drivel...confiscation will be on this council’s agenda for sure..just give it some time.....
It can fill offices in the (to be built) Obama Library.

Cartels chuckle because he did such a great job at stopping drugs at the border.
