Biden announces the creation of first White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to be led by Harris
Fox News ^ | 9/22/23 | Brie Stimson

President Biden Friday afternoon announced the creation of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention that he said would be led by Vice President Kamala Harris.

Through his executive order, Biden said he was "determined to send a clear message about how important this issue is to me and to the country."

He added that after every mass shooting he hears to the same plea to "do something."

"‘Do something to prevent tragedy that leaves behind survivors who will always carry the physical and emotional scars,’" he said. "Well, my administration has been working relentlessly to do something."

Harris, who spoke earlier, promised "With this new office, we will use the full power of the federal government to strengthen the coalition of survivors and advocates and students and teachers and elected leaders to save lives and fight for the right of all people to be safe from fear."

The president and vice president were also joined in the Rose Garden by Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., the youngest member of Congress at 26 years old. He said his first bill in Congress was introducing the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act of 2023 "and today, that bill … will become a reality due to the executive action, the leadership of President Biden and Vice President Harris."

Biden noted that "guns are the number one killer of children in America," adding "it’s time to ban assault weapons, high capacity magazines." He also said his administration would also focus on "cracking down on ghost guns."

The president said the office would have four major functions, including expedited implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was passed last year with Democratic and Republican support, and expedited implementation of his executive actions on gun control, coordinating more...

So the borders are left open—-40,000 young Americans dead from opioids crossing the border plus who knows how many murders, rapes and lessor offensives. 2 million unknown illegals a year.

Then he is going to combine that with disarming us of our most effective weapons, sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Yep. Whenever the government wants to control something you have, you know it’s in their best interest, not ours.
Honestly though, the way the people go about push back against the evil in our government, might as well give up the guns. Noone has the balls to take on state government let alone fed government. Prove me wrong!

I cooked up her first speech on Chat GPT:

I'm deeply, deeply committed to stopping bad things from happening with guns. We want everyone to be safe and feel safe in their neighborhoods. So, we need to do important things to make that happen. One important thing is making sure that everyone who wants a gun is checked to make sure they are not a bad person. We also need to close the places where people can get guns without being checked. And if someone seems like they might do something really bad, we should take the gun away for a while. We should also help people who feel very, very sad or angry because that can make them do bad things. Our big job is to keep kids, families, and everyone safe from the bad things that can happen with guns. Together, we can make our country a better and safer place for everyone.

Philadelphia sheriff (Rochelle Bilal) refutes report claiming her office left 185 guns unaccounted for
9/23/2023, 5:39:12 AM · by Libloather · 4 replies Fox News ^ | 9/22/23 | AP

Philadelphia's sheriff on Thursday disputed a city controller report that determined that the sheriff's office couldn't account for 185 guns that the controller's office says are missing. Sheriff Rochelle Bilal said at a news conference that the controller's report released earlier this week contained "misleading statements," and she questioned the controller's review.

Acting City Controller Charles Edacheril said his office conducted the review as a follow-up to a 2020 report that found the sheriff’s office couldn’t account for more than 200 weapons. That report stated that the office had haphazard recordkeeping practices and unclear procedures regarding the handling of guns....

The unconstitutional gun ban office under nincompoop Kameltoe Harris will be known informally as “The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight.”

Your Chat GPT is scarier than what she actually said.

-Harris, who spoke earlier, promised “With this new office, we will use the full power of the federal government to strengthen the coalition of survivors and advocates and students and teachers and elected leaders to save lives and fight for the right of all people to be safe from fear.”-

She only wants to get a bunch of eggheads and cry babies together to keep people “safe from fear” and to beef up some imaginary coalition. There was no mention of doing anything about guns.

Where is the White House getting all of the unappropriated money to fund this myriad of new administrative offices created by fiat?

They put her in charge of the border and it got a lot worse. Look for guns to get a lot more violent. Today is not the day to stop buying ammunition. The only way to stop a bad gun is with a good gun.
